MA BROADCAST JOURNALISM, UNIVERSITY OF PORTSMOUTH

My goal is to give a voice to those whose voices have been silenced - I believe everyone should be heard.  It is a true journalist’s responsibility to ensure they give a voice to as many as possible in an ethical and responsible manner. Hence, I am extremely interested in showcasing Muslims in a positive light, and hoping to encourage more to join the industry.

My passion is in broadcast journalism, and I have been lucky enough to have worked closely with News UK, gaining really useful experience in their offices. Additionally, I am a keen activist and have recently started my own podcast called ‘Off Topic’. The idea behind it is to facilitate open conversations, break down stigmas and share experiences.

My goal is to establish it as a safe space for networking, whilst also discussing sensitive issues within South Asian communities. It is a place where everyone is encouraged to have their say, a policy which reflects my own person sentiments.
