In our first Chamber of Secrets episodes, I had the honour of interview my workshop facilator and event coordinator at the Akhirah Collective.

She opened up about the struggles of being a ‘failure’, the pressuring of people pleasing in your community and migrant family but most importantly in the lessons she’s learnt from Allah about love and Qadr.
