Amelie Abass is rapidly emerging as a dynamic, transformative, and influential voice in contemporary British politics. She has established herself as an award-winning campaigner, political activist, and compelling professional speaker dedicated to bridging the gap between young people and the democratic process. Combining intellectual rigour with genuine lived experience, Amelie’s core mission is clear: to ensure every young person in the UK finds their voice and has the tools to advocate for themselves confidently.
Amelie’s journey into public speaking and political activism is rooted in a profound personal turning point. At 20, she survived the life-threatening and traumatic birth of her son. During this vulnerable time, she experienced the intersecting challenges of systemic racial disparities in maternity care and age-related stigma. She recognised a stark truth: young people in the UK are rarely equipped, encouraged, or empowered to advocate for their wellbeing in crucial moments. By centring these themes in her personal story, she delivers talks that resonate authentically and powerfully, showing her peers that youth is not a weakness but an incredible, untapped power.
As the founder and professional speaker at Amelie Abass Public Speaking Ltd, she has built a strong digital and physical platform. Her innovative interviews and podcasts have received over 50,000 views across various channels. A major highlight is hosting a 2026 event with StagTV and the University of Surrey Politics Department, where she interviewed Zarah Sultana MP. Her grassroots commitment to civic engagement earned her the title of ‘Campaigner of the Year’ at the 2025 Inspirational Youth Awards. Additionally, her academic and extracurricular achievements saw her recognised as a top 10 national finalist for the prestigious 2026 TargetJobs Black Heritage Undergraduate of the Year Awards, sponsored by Sky.
Amelie provides engaging, relevant content for a variety of events. Her Interactive Workshops (Ages 11-18) are designed to help young people reclaim their power, understand politics, and launch grassroots campaigns. Her Keynotes on Youth Engagement are high-energy talks on how to participate in politics, through voting, campaigning, or running for office. Amelie also shares expert insights on Electoral Reform & Political Inclusion, explaining in detail how to create fairer voting systems and ensure minority and youth representation. In addition, Amelie is available for live event presenting and podcasting, where she ensures an engaging, smooth, and thought-provoking experience for panels, live events, and digital media.

Official Feedback from In-Person & Virtual Events
"Amelie has a passion for politics and inclusion of young people that, unfortunately, I haven't seen very often. She is an excellent and compelling public speaker and her drive to find a space where young people are heard, and participatory in politics, is exceptional and needed." - Peter
"I had the absolute pleasure of both hearing Amelie speak and having a great conversation with her yesterday. Eloquent, passionate and honest with a real desire and strong drive for change. Thoroughly recommend." - Andrew
"She speaks so clearly and passionately that she can hold the audience. She knows how to engage people in her subject. Her knowledge of the subject keeps people interested. I was left feeling inspired into action. We need people of all ages to engage in politics and driving change. She also finished her talk exactly on time with 2 seconds to spare. Not many speakers manage to do that... Highly recommended as a speaker." - Mo
"One of the most polished speakers I've seen. To be this engaged, articulate and connected at such a young age is mightily impressive. I helped curate and host an event where Amelie spoke to a room full of (mostly) much older people than her and she left us all with hope for the future. Inspiring." - Marc
"I was absolutely blown away! She was a natural at speaking - exuding confidence in her delivery. Amelie is insightful, perceptive, and extremely credible in her subject matter (on this occasion, speaking about how and why to engage kids and young people in politics and current affairs). I highly recommend her." - Charlie
