Nkasi is also the Co-Founder of Black People Talk and Director of Black Students Talk which designs, delivers, and evaluates services and public engagement activities focused on inequalities in mental health and health services in the community, workplace, and education. She is a Diversity and Inclusion consultant supporting organisations to recognise and remove barriers for a more diverse and inclusive workplace and learning environment. She is also on the board of trustee at Its OK Charity (Charity Number: 1191780) which supports young people with mental illness through intersectional campaigning, education, and mentorship.
