Despite struggling with my shoulders I celebrated Fairtrade Fortnight 2019 in Dubai, UAE.
My Fairtrade Journey was tweeted by Servane Mouazan of Ogunte.
The World Cancer Day team asked if they could post my video/blog to their website.
My application was successful as a World Pulse Ambassador.
INTRODUCTION
This year I decided to fulfill some long overdue ambitions and enrolled on a
play writing course.
My play was a collection of seven scenes highlighting experiences of discrimination, acceptance and love.
I'm passionate that BAME voices are heard on the international scene and this was my attempt to initiate a healthy dialogue about race, religion, misconceptions, acceptance and love.
I am grateful to Alex Broun, my peers and the Emirates Literature Foundation for guiding and supporting my work.
I wish all the ladies phenomenal success with their plays and writing.
Many thanks to Brenda, Tvisha, Ashwarya, Padmini, Edwige, Deborah, Julia and Andrea for their love and support on this beautiful journey.

I would love to win the Peoples Award 2019 in memory of my beloved mother who returned to her maker after a 4 year struggle with breast cancer and dedicate it to all the fairtrade producers I support.
Sadly, the People's Choice Award was suspended.

Sabeena Ahmed - World Pulse Ambassador UAE
I wrote an impromptu application to apply as the World Pulse Ambassador in and was surprised to receive a successful email from the Oregan, Portland team.
This month I continued to heal from all my surgeries, raised awareness for Fairtrade Ethical Ramadan 2021 participated in a Wikipedia training session with Whose Knowledge and World Pulse and
was Sister of Ceremonies for the Encourager Party with World Pulse.
This month I continued to heal from all my surgeries, celebrated Fairtrade Fortnight 21 completed my 9th Six Items Challenge with Labour Behind the Label, and
participated in International Women's Day 2021 with The World Fair Trade Organization.
So here I am for the ninth consecutive year participating in the Six Items Challenge with Labour Behind The Label.
This year the challenge commences 17th February - 31st March 2021.
I have decided to participate and support the Six Items Challenge for the ninth year because I started to campaign for garment and factory workers while caring for my mother who had been diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer.
The six items challenge means I choose six items of clothing to wear for six weeks.
