This November I continued to heal from my shoulder surgeries.
My right shoulder was very painful and inflamed due to the cold weather and I have struggled to type this blog.
I interviewed Halima of the Islamophobia Awareness Month team, London, UK and edited videos in English and Urdu.
Halima very kindly presented a talk about Islamophobia Awareness Month.
What is Islamophobia? (English) Version
What is Islamophobia? Urdu Version
(Urdu اردو) اسلامو فوبیا کیا ہے؟
19+ minute video presentation (English) about Islamophobia in the
United Kingdom
I hope to edit and add English and Urdu subtitles as soon I am able and my right shoulder is better.
Islamophobia Awareness Month (IAM) is a campaign founded by 2012 by a group of Muslim organisations to raise awareness of Islamophobia and showcase the positive contributions of Muslims in the UK.
Our vision is to see a society free from Islamophobia in all its forms, and a campaign recognised and supported widely by everyone in society.

The goal of this year's campaign is to facilitate connection among individuals from diverse backgrounds, including both Muslims and non-Muslims, using the transformative power of storytelling.
Everyone has a story to tell. It can be based on their own experiences or those of someone they admire. So, let's take part by sharing our stories and sparking meaningful and engaging conversations.
