Alkarim Jivani is the television editor for the London arts and entertainment magazine Time Out.

Born in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, and educated in Tanzania, Kenya, and the United Kingdom, he graduated from the University of Sussex with a degree in philosophy and literature.

In 1997, he published It's not unusual: A History of Lesbian and Gay Britain in the Twentieth Century which dealt with gay and lesbian fashion and slang.

He is an 'out' gay man and is regularly featured on BBC's Newsnight Review. His being comfortable with his own gayness helped a friend of mine come to terms with his own, so Alkarim will always be cool to him.
Who is that swarthy fella with the beads and the bangles? Why, it's none other than Alkarim Jivani. Do you think he would mind if I asked him who had cut his hair? No, not Alkarim, he's a smashing bloke. He won't mind at all.

Jivani. Where do I start? Jivani is very loyal,has trust issues, and funny. When you first meet him he’s very shy but after seeing his true personality he’s very energetic and will make you die of laughter. But he can get mad at little things but half of the time, forgive. He’s a bit sensitive but not too much. If you ever meet him you should keep him.
Girl: Hey look at Jivani!
Girl2: He’s energetic as hell!
