About Tonight: So I had the absolute pleasure of chairing a special screening for Channel 4 for their documentary series 'Defiance' at the Light cinema.

Very triggering series, which will officially be out on Channel 4 on Monday 8 April. The documentary sheds light on pivotal events such as the Southall protests, the death of Blair Peach, the Battle for Brick Lane and the remarkable story of our very own Bradford 12.

Presented by Channel 4 in collaboration with BAFTA winning Rogan Productions, Riz Ahmed's Left Handed Films and GroupM Motion Entertainment. It's a must watch.

Today, I celebrate the woman who has been my rock, my inspiration, and my guiding light. My mother isn't just a parent; she's a hero who has shaped me into the person I am today. From teaching me to walk as a child to empowering me to overcome challenges, her love knows no bounds. To all the incredible mothers out there, and to those who may be watching over us from above, Happy Mother's Day. Your love and guidance continue to inspire us every day. 💖

Incredible firsts! Champions! Role Models!

For us IWD celebrations haven't stopped. Let us remind ourselves about the trailblazing British South Asian women who have etched their names into history. They shattered gender barriers, defied societal expectations, and became the first in their fields, breaking through the glass ceiling and leaving an indelible mark on history.

Sunday sentiments: Embrace your natural beauty, it is the essence of who you are. Let's break free from society's standards and celebrate ourselves just as we are. Whether you're makeup-free or adorned, remember: self-love knows no bounds. Validation comes from within. Love yourself fiercely, unapologetically. ♥️
