    British Afgans open up about how they feel right nowI interviewed two British Afghans given the current crisis in Afghanistan right now about how they feel. I spoke to former Miss England Hammasa Kohistani and Marina Khan from jewellery and clothing brand Avizeh.

  • George Floyd: where did the global donations go?
    George Floyd: where did the global donations go?I wrote a long-form text piece delving in to what happened to the millions of dollars that Minnesota organisations received after George Floyd's death. We all saw the viral posts encouraging us to donate to causes, celebrities and public figures doing it too, but where was the money spent? Check out my piece at this link: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-57285779
  • Ramadan 2021
    Ramadan 2021I presented, produced, and edited a multimedia series across BBC platforms to mark the start of Ramadan - the holy Islamic month of fasting. This included an online text piece answering some of the trending Google searches around the month. I created an Instagram Reels that has had almost 80,000 views on BBC Minute's Instagram page. Finally, I filmed and presented Instagram stories that featured on the main BBC News IG account.
  • Yemen week

  • 'Losing my job as a Bangladeshi garment worker'
    'Losing my job as a Bangladeshi garment worker'I interviewed Sonia, an 18-year-old garment worker in Bangladesh who lost her job because of Covid-19. When global lockdowns caused shops to close, brands cancelled billions of dollars in orders. Clothing sales fell, factories closed down and workers were left without jobs. Sonia spoke to me about her struggles to pay for food or rent.
