Anthony L. Olaseinde

Anthony L. Olaseinde has been fighting against knife crime in South Yorkshire for over three years with his award-winning anti-knife crime campaign #KEEP SHEFFIELD STAINLESS. Alongside running a business and completing his university course: gaining a Bachelor’s in Engineering with first-class Honours in Computer and Network Engineering and proceeding on to gain a Masters of Science with Distinction in Advanced Computer Networks.

Despite his academic success, Anthony decided he wanted to share his experiences with young people and encourage them to be the best version of themselves. Consequently, he created Always an Alternative, a non-profit company aimed at challenging the mindset of young people around Serious Youth Violence (Knife crime, gun crime, gang culture and Domestic abuse), Child Criminal Exploitation and Child Sexual Exploitation.

After his own bad experiences in school and learning that he is dyslexic, he decided to write a book that would bring a new spark in to reading for young people.
