I’ve arrived in UK in 2002 with my family; with a BA in English, and several languages including my mother tongue -Kurdish- , Arabic, Persian, Greek and English.
I have faced many problems when trying to integrate into the society, but I never gave up! I started studying different courses to improve and update my skills and abilities. My learning not only has helped me gain knowledge and confidence, but also opened the door for me to meet others and feel belonged.
I believe in a multicultural world where we can all live happily and share our hopes and dreams to create a better future for everyone.
I’m currently working as the creative director of Culture Bridge based in Stockport. I’ve been volunteering as a digital assistant at Stockport Citizen advice for the last two years. Also, I’ve worked for Stockport ethnic diversity service in a volunteer capacity as interpreter, bilingual assistant and cultural talker in schools, hospitals and churches for more than ten years. I’ve been involved with Kurdistan art & culture, where I volunteered as women & children organisor for fourteen years.
I like painting and writing, I’ve participated in several group exhibitions in Kurdistan, Greece, Nottingham and Manchester. I’ve participated in Sheba Arts' gardens of Babylon Project and recently participated with a poem, in the art creativity blog. I’m currently participating in several online workshops organised by Sheba Arts to improve my skills.
