The Journey by Ibrahim Ahmed

Reach Up Youth works to empower young people using youth leadership programmes such as Big Brother Burngreave. Big Brother Burngreave is set up by young people for young people. This film explores the journey Safiya and Reach Up Youth have undertaken to make this a successful project.Filmed, Edited and Directed By Ibrahim Ahmed.

This project is aimed at young girls aged 11- 20 years old.

Although its an open door policy but its targeted at the BAME girls as they are restricted and limited access to practice sports and activities.

We want to create leadership, community champions and confidence building through sports. They are now 25 girls attend the sessions. We want to mentor them to become young leaders and help to build their self-steam as there are lack of young girls represented in the professional world and the community. Young girls are very vulnerable in Burngreave and they don’t have a lot of mentor’s women from their background they can identify with.

"Safiya Saeed is the face of an organization called Sisterhood. Sisterhood provides leadership skills and self-centered love. I joined Sisterhood searching for more friends but instead I found my family. Safiya Saeed have given me and Sisterhood members self defencing classes to provide us with protection. the best thing Ilove about Sisterhood is that everyone cares bout each other on a personal level"

"I need Sisterhood because it makes me more active and made me fall in love with basketball. It is even better because Sisterhood is a community and my family. Another reason is having Sisterhood makes me want to do more with my life instead of staying indoors in bed all day. sisterhood has provided me with more confidence and self-love than I could have ever imagined"

I got involved in Big Brother because there isn’t much going on in my area! Their social media is LIT!, it shows many activities and leadership.  It looks cool to be a leader or a champion.  I want to be involved more in the future.

I was very shy at first, always tried to participate and just blend, when I was chosen as a Champion 2019 I felt visible and responsible to be a good example for others.  I felt privileged to become a leader in 2020.  It was a difficult year because of Covid but I felt good being there for the group and sticking with each other to support as a team in the isolation period.

It was very sticked in my house, so going to a girl sport activities was a big no no but I was encouraged by the group to discuss this with my parents and family.  It was great opportunity to be involved with Sisterhood, I feel supported, energised and will get a good chance to apply for my ideal university.  This project helped me with my self confidence and my mental health.

I was always bullied at school and coming to the Sisterhood I felt safe, making friends during a game was a positive change in my life. I try to be involved in the decision making and I come to all the training sessions online and face to face.  I feel major and can become a leader in the future.
