CHELLA MAN Photographed by Soraya Zaman
The intersection of my marginalised identities allow first-hand insight on systematic corruption and the cycles of this and the uniting affinity those share within a community ... Through these experiences, I have felt a surge of empathy leading to the determination of establishing new infrastructure for our world to operate on, promoting inclusivity and equity.
After eighteen years of internalized struggles with my gender/disability/ race due to harmful societal constructs, I now feel comfortable and cemented with my identity. Having reached this newfound certainty, I felt eager to experiment and push the boundaries of my identity further. But this time, on my own terms.
