Hello Creatives!   

Welcome back to another episode of our Be Inspired Podcast: A chance for you to, you guessed it, be inspiration and find motivation during these final months of Lockdown. So far we have spoken with a diverse group of artists and creatives who work within the performing arts industry about their experiences and passions.   

In episode five of our podcast, we chatted to exceptional, Fehmida Master!   

Fehmida is an Author, Poet, Writer & Spoken Word Artist from Bolton.  

After studying the Sciences & English Literature, she made the move into FAA Security, working in the USA and then living in London. Fehmida returned to Bolton so to raise her son around family, climbing the 9-5 corporate ladder whilst pursuing her passion for writing in her spare time.  Now a full time Writer, Fehmida has performed at Events in and around Greater Manchester, including for International Women’s Day, Thats What She Said, Word Central and Words Weekend, with themes of feminism, women’s rights, race, love & loss.   

Most recently, Fehmida founded her own publishing house, Master House Publishing, an independent press. The company look to publish diverse inclusive Poetry from Women of all backgrounds, focusing on new writing from emerging women writers and those under-served in mainstream publishing.  

Not only are we incredibly humbled by Fehmida taking the time to chat so openly with us, but we are proud of her journey as an artist and how we've played a part in that. To see such a fabulous woman and poet pushing boundaries and living her best life - well, it's simply wonderful!  

We hope you enjoy this episode!

All the love and warmth, Blue Balloon Theatre xxx
