The Royal Spy

Discover the incredible true story Noor Inayat Khan, a remarkable woman who shattered stereotypes and risked her life to fight for her country during World War II. She was the first female radio operator flown behind enemy lines, defying conventional notions of spies. She wasn't a seasoned athlete or a master of espionage; instead, she overcame her fear of weapons to become a beacon of courage in a male dominated world. Born to a mixed heritage and a follower of Sufi Muslim traditions, her journey is a testament to the strength of diversity and the power of resilience. This captivating book is my proud addition to the Collins Big Cat book collection, offering young readers an inspiring glimpse into the life of an extraordinary heroine.

An Ancestry of Aunties

This poem acts as an ode to our aunties, celebrating the unique role these women play in our lives, honouring the quirks and wisdom of our beloved aunties. From hoarding the toilet paper pre Covid, to using unorthodox spices claiming to solve our various health issues, their seemingly odd, and 20th century habits now reveal their profound significance as we grow older.

Secret Story Draw

Part of campaign to help boost the campaigns of under illustrated illustrators and animates from ethnic minorities, I wrote a short story about a peculiar monster with a hidden talent called Snore. The short story is currently being illustrated and animated by a range of creative minds for a competition to win a paid internship for some of the best companies in the business. It was a pleasure to be selected to write for such an groundbreaking competition.
