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.
In 2015 my Creative Director Helen Barlow Scott and I worked to design The Little Fair Trade Stamps which would be included in the launch of The Little Fair Trade Shop website Quarter 1, 2016.
In this blog I explain what each stamp means and introduce you to a fairtrade producer who has aligned their business to implement and promote a living wage, decent working conditions, transparency and accountability, empowerment, environmental sustainability, dignity and self respect for all.
This month I continued to heal from surgery.
Completed the prestigious World Literacy Foundation Ambassador 2020 Program and
Attended Ethical Consumer Week 2020 via virtual sessions.
This October I attended online Ethical Consumer Week Conference 2020.

The conference began Saturday 24th October and concluded Friday 30th October 2020.
Many thanks to all the guest speakers and the Ethical Consumer team for an informative and inspiring week!
