Meet Amelie Abass, a life of politics, international relations and public speaking.
Amelie Abass is a dynamic Politics & International Relations undergraduate at Royal Holloway, University of London (Class of 2027), whose passion for political activism and literary flair makes her equal parts professor and performer. With A‑Levels in Music, English Literature and Italian under her belt, Amelie is adept at combining rhythm, rhetoric and translation in her work.
Her writing has graced The Tab, where she tackles subjects as varied as youth voting trends, campus life and cultural identity—with a voice described as intelligent, bold and wickedly funny. That knack for turning the political into the personal recently landed her interviews with student-focused magazines, showcasing her as a bright, articulate advocate for youth engagement.
Off‑campus, Amelie brings her creativity to SoundCloud and Spotify channels—blending spoken‑word reflections with musical interpretation. She also specialises in public speaking, delivering thought-provoking YouTube talks (like “Why does the voting system matter?”) that mix policy insight with infectious humour—no lectern dread here.
Optimised for discovery, Amelie Abass is fast becoming a name associated with thoughtful commentary, creative expression and sharp wit. Watch: she’s the kind of voice that turns “just another student” into someone everyone remembers.
Amelie Abass's Fantasy Cultural Year
With a magic wand in one hand, a time machine warmed up, and a Star Trek transporter on standby, Mark sat down with Amelie Abass to imagine her dream cultural year. You can watch the conversation in full above— on YouTube or Spotify or SoundCloud.
What followed was a creative, witty, and globe-trotting journey across art, painting and football.
Burj Khalifa & A Year in Dubai
Mark and Amelie imagined themselves in Dubai, centring their conversation on the Burj Khalifa—Amelie’s favourite modern building.
They devised a fictional research opportunity: a year-long Dubai-based project funded by a family foundation.
The mission? Create a global youth engagement league table across politics and culture.
The package included a TED Talk, TV series, book deal, and university lecture tour.
Amelie was enthusiastic and agreed to begin her research in the UK.
2. First Class Flights & Covent Garden Jazz
Amelie painted a vivid picture of arriving in the UK first class from Dubai, welcomed with a cold beer and a note from the foundation.
She revealed her love for old-school jazz and envisioned settling into a Covent Garden loft.
A warm welcome from young political activists led to an evening of dance and dinner.
Her picks: a Michael Jackson dance performance and a fusion meal blending global cuisines.
3. Olympic Dreams & VR Art in Rome
The conversation turned to global cities and sports.
Amelie expressed her love for New York and watching short-distance running races.
Mark suggested viewing the Olympic 100m final, followed by drinks at a bar.
Their next imagined stop? Rome, to explore a cutting-edge digital art gallery with virtual reality headsets.
4. Warhol, Wicked & Aretha
Discussing artistic preferences, Amelie chose to immerse herself in Andy Warhol’s 3D world.
Together, they mapped out an artistic adventure:
A historical pop concert (Amelie picked Aretha Franklin)
A chaotic theatre play (the kind “where everything goes wrong”)
A West End/Broadway musical (Amelie chose Wicked)
A night at the opera (Mozart was her pick)
Film night with Sliding Doors on the screen.
5. Memento, Peppa Pig & Future Lunches
Mark introduced the film Memento, which Amelie hadn’t seen.
Intrigued by its reversed storytelling and deep characters, she expressed interest in watching it.
Mark then pitched a new project: a research-themed lunch with any historical or fictional figure.
Amelie’s whimsical response: her future-aged son joined by Peppa Pig.
Mark shared reflections on his own grandson.
