ABOUT MALICK ABDULLAH

I’m the Founder of The Thought Base (TTB)- a self-help publication and community reshaping how young people think, feel, and grow. What started as a Substack newsletter has evolved into a multi-platform movement inspiring Gen Z to pause, reflect, and act meaningfully.Alongside building TTB, I’m a 3rd year Accountancy Student and ACA trainee with PwC and the University of Nottingham, learning first-hand how structure, discipline, and reflection fuel sustainable personal growth.My journey began at 15 when I realised, while completing the Silver Youth STEMM Award, that curiosity and courage creates transformation. That experience sparked my lifelong pursuit of exploring the why behind human potential.Before then, it was easy to uphold a reputation based on how I was perceived rather than what I actually did, and remain in a box of only being a high attaining student.The fruits of stepping out of my comfort zone are seen in part through my Degree Apprenticeship Series on LinkedIn which has reached over views and counting.Behind this was just a student, who was balancing multiple applications, coursework, and preparation for mock exams, with a sprinkle of existential crisis.As a young adult now, I have created a platform that is based on a growing amalgamation of knowledge from my years of networking, self-improvement, and exploration.Today, my writing blends personal research, lived experience, and actionable frameworks to help readers move from self-awareness to self-leadership. My goal is to make deep thinking practical - equipping young people and future coaches with the tools to reflect intelligently and act intentionally.Key Areas of Expertise: Personal Branding & Writing Self-Discipline & High Performance Organisation & Productivity Systems Networking & Thought Leadership for Students Early-Career Personal DevelopmentI’m currently on the journey of becoming a certified coach, while collaborating with coaches and creators to bridge research-driven reflection with real-world growth.
