My story

 It’s all about my travel, daily life, and asylum seekers’ life in the UK, and community awareness. thanks for visiting my blog. Any kind of suggestions or help will be highly accepted. English is my second language so I would like to tell everyone who is reading my blog please forgive me for my grammar or bad English. I do travel a lot throughout nature and try to find the link. As an Asylum seeker in the UK, I find it very interesting to face the system and nature at the same time. I am currently Studying LLB law at Northumbria University on a Sanctuary Scholarship. I try to share my sorrows and bad memories through my horrible past with nature. I thought it will be great if people know about it and I can share it. I am a community Advocate. Life is very short, and I believe and it’s my mom’s request to be there for people and help them always. I am trying to do this. UK is my first home now. Although i am from Bangladesh I left my country when I was 18. During my stay in the UK, I have worked as a volunteer in numerous organizations. I am a Refugee Week Leader, UK 2020. Refugee Week UK advisory Panel Member, Centre Think Tank North East Chair, President University of Sanctuary Society Northumbria University, REP for the Northumbria Law school- 1st year-2020, Diversity Officer for Newcastle Lib Dem, British Red Cross, Newham borough Council, London Olympics and Para-Olympics Game 2012, The Great Exhibition of North 2018, Action Foundation, Citizens Advice,

I am a passionate and enthusiastic undergraduate law student studying at Northumbria Law School, eager to gain legal experience. I was a victim of modern-day slavery and trafficked into the UK. I am able to pursue my undergraduate studies because I brought a successful judicial review, challenging the Home Office’s ban on access to higher education for asylum seekers; this led to a change in national policy on the issue. These experiences have grounded my commitment to a career in law.
