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.
My Plastic Free July 2021 Summary.
This year was a painful and difficult Plastic Free July, my shoulders caused me severe pain and typing and posting was very difficult.
I've tried my very best to continue to live a plastic free lifestyle and am making gradual changes.
This month I continued to heal from all my surgeries,
I raised awareness for World Day Against Child Labour and attended a few webinars.
The first webinar at the beginning of the month was 'Wave of Hope Crafting Session' with the Fairtrade Foundation UK and the Arts University Bournemouth teams and the second 'Preparing your Board Ready CV' with Lara Oyedele.
Many thanks to Sabeena Akhtar for my signed copy of 'Cut from the Same Cloth.'
As a fairtrade campaigner I believe it is my duty to support fairtrade organisations using fairtrade ingredients in their products and for this reason I have searched long and hard for products that suit my acne reactive skin.
I am relieved to have found a mask that works for my skin.
I apply the Odylique 3 in 1 Maca Mask to my skin every 4-5 days which is particularly helpful before you feel a cystic bump appear before your menstrual cycle.
