Me, at London BBC studios getting ready to speak Bengali



A chronological timeline of all the press, events, awards and speaker opportunities I have been lucky enough to have been involved in.  As well as the films I've made and the interviews I have given.

I speak on travel, LDCs (aka 'Third World'), my love for Bangladesh as a British woman, inspiration, my late father and other British Asian issues affecting women.
