I find bios the hardest thing to write, so let’s start simply.

My name is Saffiyah, I go by Saff primarily, my family calls me Saffy and all kinds of variations on that. I’m a 20-something irreligious, angry Pakistani girl writing about things that make me furious and happy, like politics and food to things that challenge me such as religion, faith, and books.

As well as, raising awareness and documenting my experience with Endometriosis, for which I received an official diagnosis in July 2023.

In terms of my educational and working background, I studied History and American Studies first time round at university and then I completed a masters degree in International Journalism. I’ve worked on all sides of the communications field, from reporting as a journalist to managing clients in public relations and social media management.

This website is a place for me to begin re-exploring my creativity and talk about issues that are on my mind, fusing a journalistic approach with heart.

Born, raised and currently based in the U.K.
