SMU alumna Mrs Shereen Aziz-Williams was recently made an honorary Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE). Mrs Williams, who moved to Wales in 2005, has been a prominent speaker on subjects ranging from faith and race to cohesion and extremism, and is passionate about tackling issues such as violence against women. The SMU accountancy graduate currently works as a regional community cohesion coordinator. As part of her role working for the local government, she has overseen the relocation of former British Army translators from Afghanistan and is now lead officer for the resettlement of Syrian Refugees in Wales. Mrs Williams also works with the Henna Foundation, a charity aimed at strengthening families within the Muslim community, and which supports women who have been the victims of honour-based violence and forced marriages. The Singapore High Commission in London said on its Facebook page: "We are proud of Singaporeans who contribute to their local communities no matter where they are, and fly our flag high."
