Sufia has a background which spans from working in the creative arts to Education. Having filmed behind the scenes on film sets to creating her own visual poems during lockdown, she has long utilised the arts as her own personal outlet alongside working with young people to do the same. She was selected to make a short film as part of a collective of series of visual poems that explore discrimination and exclusion in the UK, released on behalf of the Film & TV Charity & Smoking Bear Productions. She has been creating and writing since, alongside working as a Mentor and Youth Worker in schools from the coast to the city. Working with communities from an array of stories and backgrounds to speak truth through the arts has always felt like the greatest part of the creative journey, and one she cannot wait to be a part of at the Bluball this Summer. <3
