এইসব ছোট শিশুদের ইটের দেয়ালের ভেতরে লোহার জানালার খাঁচায় দেখতে আমার ভালো লাগে না। ভালো লাগেনা দূষিত ধোঁয়ার শহরে এক টুকরো ধুলোবালির মাঠের জন্য হাহাকার। আমাদের এইসব ছোট শিশুদের সর্বনাশ হয়ে গেছে। ভাঙচুর হয়ে গেছে প্রাকৃতিক খেলনা,চাপিয়ে দেয়া হয়েছে প্লাস্টিকের বানিজ্যিক হাতি ঘোড়া বন্দুক। এইসব ছোট শিশুদের এই কাদামাটি জলের শৈশব ফিরে আসুক। ফিরে আসুক লতাপাতা ফুল পাখির অকৃত্রিম শৈশব। By © আফরিন শরীফ বীথি

I am an Over-thinker, a Pessimist but also a Spiritual, Soulful, and Passionate human. So, it is a complex situation there. Not really the best combination. I struggle often, life happens, go through insomnia, depression but then I try to rise from there, each time. I think that is my best quality which I can say I am proud of. I love talking to people, mostly I am the conversation starter. A high-functioning extrovert who is often left alone inside. Often I try to take my time to pursue my passion. I love art, I paint sometimes, play my ukulele and sing for fun, and do photography. Frida Kahlo is my favourite artist – I am highly inspired by both her life and her art. Ludovico’s music is very special to my heart. I love a clouded sky, a windy moment before it rains. My love for films made me launch a short film platform called One Minute Films, which intends to promote new talent and storytelling. I also direct and produce short films from the same platform. I studied business, work in communication for my profession. I have been an advertising professional for 5 years. Advertising gave me the scope to nurture my creative self. I was fortunate to be able to work for campaigns that won awards on national and international platforms. Despite a fulfilling experience working with prestigious brands, I began to realize the importance of social and behavioural change communication. I shifted to the development sector to use my skills in this field. I spent over 2 years working for young people – studying what motivates them and trying to generate demand for nutritious food in them. I have been all about balancing and keeping everyone around me happy. Now in my 30th year, I slowly want to learn to live for myself and do all that I always wanted to do – like see the world, explore, and live in the moment for which the pandemic is not helping much with; but my hobbies keep me content. I am single and live with my mother. She is my hero. She makes me realize how powerful the essence of womanhood is. I hope to radiate similar positivity throughout the choices I make.
