#creativityworks s8

Last week, we were challenged to create a 90 second documentary on a subject of our choice.

So I meshed together a number of ideas: identity, anonymity and my mum.

The main issue I wanted to portray is the fact that Muslimahs (Muslim women) all seem to be painted with the same brush. The British media, and for the most part, the world's media only seems to only focus on the plight and the stories of South Asian Muslimahs and only recently Somali Muslimahs, who's identity for the most part is deeply entrenched in their religion - don't quote me on that - as both cultures are entwined with Islamic history.

So in this mini docu, I wanted to portray a very different identity. My mum was born and raised in the UK with a non-muslim, creative background. This soon changed once she became Muslim.

Last year I set myself the challenge of drawing a flower a day for 30 days.... around 4 months later... This is all I've done. Lol. But I thought I would share it with the world.

Hopefully, sharing this will motivate me to continue.
