Muslim Mother of four, Grandmother of ten, business woman, community engager, founder of Multicultural Cumbria and Culture Bazaar.

Having lived in Carlisle for 47 years, with many many conversations with people from a wide variety of backgrounds, heritages and cultures, one thing stands out.  We all want the same basics in life.  A home, a family, a job to provide for loved ones.  Food unites and brings people together to share kindness, respect, values and friendship.
Favourite quotes! “If you don’t ask, you don’t get” & ” A smile costs nothing to the giver, but is priceless to another”

Join me and Multicultural Cumbria, go on this journey of discovery to share the culture, history, traditions, written and spoken words of people who have contributed so much, not to only their own countries but the legacy that we continue to experience in the United Kingdom and how we are inexplicably linked.
