Be you – Own it.

As I’m growing older and continue to experience, one lesson that has been helping me build my confidence is- Own it. So, here’s a little something for you.

To the leaders who’ve inspired me

As you leave on your new adventures, you are leaving a mark. Well, a mark for some and a gap for many. Your shoes are absolutely massive to fill, your honesty & guidance rare. As you leave for your new adventures, I hope you remember to be simply You. You are indeed a human full…

Ishi Khan- I’mMigrant

Show 3 I was intrigued to see this show after reading the title “I’mMigrant” and the description “… Ishi explores migration & identity. As stories of the migration crisis, Brexit & the Windrush scandal dominated the news, Ishi wonders where she fits in….” I invited a friend to join me to end my week’s self-imprisonment…

Men with Coconuts

Show 2 This was a part of my student ambassador job where I assisted a group of students from China on a Cultural Program at Heriot-Watt University (Edinburgh Campus) on a 14/12/10/6-week Pre-sessional English course.

The Clock is Ticking

Tik Tok Tik Tok… the clock ticked. Tik, the second goes by unnoticed a little too fast sometimes a little too slow. Tik, the second went by when I met you, Tok, the second went by when we parted ways. Tik Tok Tik Tok… the clock ticks by I wonder if I miss you or…
