My name is Yasmin, I’m 20, and about to start my third year of study in Journalism, Media and Culture at Newcastle University in the UK. I consider myself a feminist, and a follower of women’s rights, so I am excited to meet people with similar interests, and bring more depth to my knowledge.
When I am not at university, I take a large interest in animal welfare, and the ivory trade – I was lucky enough to go on safari in Tanzania in 2016, and hope to again next year. I have been heavily involved with the charity CRCL (Cumbria-Rungwe Community Link), which allowed me to host a Tanzanian girl at my home in 2015, and then stay with her in 2016. Myself and my mum are both still involved with the fundraising of the Link, and we recently pledged the idea of setting up menstruation packs, and giving bras to girls in rural Tanzania.
Living in the Lake District in England – which has the most incredible views!! – I enjoy my fair share of walking and photography. I also love documentaries, especially ones from David Attenborough and Ross Kemp – this would be the type of role I would love to pursue as a future career path.
I look forward to meeting you all.
