Our curiosity of how our Muslim friends navigate through this special edition of Ramadan, resulted in the birth of this series. Join us, as we shares our intentions for this series.

We have an exciting line-up for today, starting with our first guest : Imran!

Imran has been advocating for youths to harness the potential of digital skills and knowledge to value-add to their contribution to the community. He aims to transfer World-Class knowledge to individuals who wish to transform into better versions of themselves.

This Ramadan will be unique as he tries to balance online and offline interactions to maintain connections with his friends, family and community. He aims to continue his practises cultivated from the past ‘Circuit Breaker’ Ramadan for this year!

For today's episode, we have Atiqah as our guest.

Atiqah is a HR practitioner, a blogger, and writer in her free time. She shares about her family’s love for travelling on their blog ‘Familytrippers’. She also wrote her first children book series in 2018 titled, ‘Rubiah from Semarang’

This year, we’ll be catching up with her on how will Ramadan be for her during post-circuitbreaker. Does she have any new strategies dealing with her 3 active boys while juggling her other responsibilities during this ‘new normal’ Ramadan?

Today, our guest is Afzal.

Afzal is a community-builder at heart, always seeking different ways to build and learn from communities. Much of his work experience has been with rental flats, and working with, rather than for, the communities, leveraging on their strengths to sustainably support their growth.

One year forward, what new development can we expect from his relationship with the rental flat community? Let’s hear him shed some light on what it means to be a neighbour, friend and Singaporean – and to also giving a little, understand a little and celebrate a little together.

The intention for "Heart Conversations" is just that, with a play on the word "Heart" : speaking from the heart about the hard topics/conversations; areas that most people don't really want to speak about, either because it is too difficult, or is important and yet, seemingly too fluffy to discuss.

So let's do it here, through this platform.

This thread is dedicated to acknowledging and honouring women; one half of the human population here on earth. We want to speak and share about the highs and lows of being women, we want to hear from you too, about your experiences about being a woman. So please join in the conversation!

In this fourth and final episode for this season, we leap into the next half of the year with a difficult conversation of the pains and struggles of being a woman.

Don't get us wrong; we are not saying that men don't have pains and struggles. We are just saying, as women, we perhaps can share a bit more about these, from a woman's perspective.

From physical pain, to mental and emotional struggles, let's be open and honest about it, and how it is a struggle for us, as we go about our daily lives.

This is not a solutioning conversation. Meaning, we are not here to solve a problem; more sharing of perspectives, thoughts, experiences.

In this third episode, there’s no better time to talk about balance than now! As we progress through another round of tighter measures till June 13th, let’s not forget the impact of the measures on our brave ladies.

Most of women today are constantly trying to balance multiple roles; They have to be mothers, sisters, daughters, leaders and even providers in their workplace and families. If that alone doesn’t sound stressful, pile on the added pressure of managing the sudden work from home requirements, relationship challenges amplified from sharing the constrained work and personal space, emotional and financial strains incurred from the onset of the pandemic, being a stressed out frontliner, etc.

Right now, more than ever, balance is very much needed.
