Can trust in politics be rebuilt? In this episode of Lou Brown Talks, I sit down with Shazna Muzammil, a local councillor whose journey from a war-torn childhood in Sri Lanka to a UK advocate is inspiring. Shazna shares how she defied cultural norms - navigating an arranged marriage, pursuing education, and finding her voice in politics, driven by her parents’ community service legacy. Now, she’s making a difference, like securing work placements for looked-after children.
We explore trust in politics, discussing how authenticity and open communication can connect with communities. Shazna’s resilience, from facing media scrutiny in Sri Lanka to addressing UK local issues, underscores the grit needed in public service. We also dive into the importance of diverse voices, especially women’s, in shaping policy and how personal connections with residents can rebuild faith in a distant system.
