I'm Sajidah, I'm 19 and I'm an aspiring producer and director. I was born and bred in Bradford, and have a passion to see it thrive. I love theatre and I love the idea of bringing people together to share experiences and stories. I look forward to producing my own work soon!

I love all aspects of theatre design, going to art exhibitions, gigs, music festivals and the Edinburgh Fringe!
Yasmin Goodison–Braithwaite
I’m a Fine art BA/ MA graduate, conceptual artist and craft enthusiast! If I don’t have my hands stuck in a project, I am out and about, at the latest exhibitions, nature hotspots, music gigs, rummaging through markets, food stalls, and your local charity shops! in all cities under the sun. My days always start, and end with a cosy brew and a book.
