As well as her day job, she is an avid blogger, has published articles in the national media and has a number of academic publications. In 2011, Hifsa was appointed a Deputy Lieutenant of Staffordshire and received an MBE in Her Majesty’s New Year’s Honours List for services to community cohesion. She has worked on inter-faith relations and social justice issues for over 20 years and more recently was the recipient of an OBE in Her Majesty’s Jubilee Honours List for services to social cohesion.
