I am a BBCD, (British born confused Desi!) by my own admission, although the confusion seems to be lifting, and has been, particularly over the past few years!!
I studied to Masters Level in Health Services Research, at Hull University. My area of specialism is Ethnicity and Health. I work at the University of Leeds as a Research Officer, I am currently evaluating a post natal listening service for Pakistani, Bangladeshi and Chinese Women, and despite how this may sound Im not terribly academic in the least! My other working interest is in offering training to professionals on Ethnicity race and health issues.
I come from a family of 5, Rizwan ( my brother), Saduf ( my sister), and mum and dad of course, who have been a constant source of inspiration, love and support throughout my life.
I have lots of hobbies, poem writing being one, comedy writing being another!! Im currently writing a short piece that has been commissioned by a Theatre company in London, about three asian middle aged women on a day trip to London. I am also trying my hand at amature dramatics, I have a part in a play due to be staged in November.I also compere at various events ( and my knees wobble every time!)
Other passionate likes: Urdu poetry, infact the language as a whole, R 'n' B music, comedy (esp. the 'goodness gracious me' team), international cuisine, Badminton and a good work out in the gym! Passionate hates: racism, inequality of any nature, double standards, ignorance, karrela's and plastic flowers!
