Through his work, he strives to provide a platform for marginalized individuals to share their stories and receive proper legal support. Alexander's efforts are centered around promoting access to justice and upholding the rights of those who may not have a voice in the legal system. His commitment to ensuring that every individual has the opportunity to tell their side of the story before facing judgment or punishment is at the core of his work.

Justice. The transformative power of education. Supporting others to realise their potential.

Prisons can be places where inmates lives are positively transformed, where the skills and attitude needed for a successful life upon release are gained

I was invited to apply to become a fellow early in 2012. I enjoyed attending TED Global 2012 and the conversations, relationships and new knowledge which came with it. Since then I have spoken at TEDx University of Cambridge and I attended the Fellows Retreat in Whistler in August 2013. In November 2013 I attended a 'Collaboratorium' for TED Fellows in Dallas, Texas. Being a part of TED has broadened my thinking, inspired and connected me.
