A lawyer and former ombudsman specialising in consumer vulnerability and the Equality Act, Reena founded her consultancy after her son was diagnosed with autism and she realised how little representation and bespoke support there was for BAME parents in similar situations. 

Her work focuses on recognising cultural biases and misconceptions which can impact BAME autistic children getting a diagnosis and accessing support as well as the intersection with race and ethnicity on health outcomes for autistic individuals. Reena lends her voice to discussions about the impact of health and social policy on BAME communities, delivers talks to organisations and NHS Trusts seeking to be more inclusive, and workshops for parents and communities who want to support their members more inclusively. Reena has a podcast called Unpacking Autism which addresses the impact of culture on the life of autistic individuals and their families.

Reena is on the co-production board at Aubilities which helps organisations use autistic neurodivergence to increase value; a Trustee at the Race Equality Foundation, a national charity which promotes race equality in social support and public services; and Inclusion Governor and Chair of the Governing Body at her local primary school.
