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.
