Whilst studying Economics at Cambridge, Lucy investigated Christianity and Islam and unexpectedly found herself compelled by what she had discovered to make a life-changing decision about her faith. Author of \u2018Welcome to Islam- a convert\u2019s tale\u2019, Lucy\u2019s career has transitioned from Financial analysis to Health Economics in a multinational, to working in the charity sector in the UK and South Africa. Lucy has been teaching Muslim children and teenagers in both countries to think about their faith and engage with it intellectually, practically, and through service to others. She has 3 children and a cat who loves walking over the keyboard. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
