Bhooshita says, "You can say that I am a citizen of the world. I am passionate about languages, learning about new cultures as well as helping migrants in Ireland. My friend Sinead who is also a volunteer with SERVE, introduced me to the Think Global Act Local programme. Through this programme, I learnt a lot and I got to teach Vietnamese children English online. The Flip Flop Appeal is such a great cause. I choose to challenge the question where are you from?'"

Fahmeda has been living in Ireland, in Cork, on the North Side, for the last thirteen years. She is a registered teacher with Teaching Council of Ireland as a Subject Specialist for the subject of History in secondary schools.

She has approximately a decade of international teaching experience, ranging from secondary school to further education.

The Theme: I Choose to Challenge

We had Leanne McDonagh join as a special guest. In this podcast you will hear Leanne's talk at the Wild Ones Salon.

Leanne McDonagh is a young Irish Traveller woman and professional visual artist. She began practicing art at Crawford College of Art & Design in 2007, graduating five years later with an Honours Degree in Fine Art, as well as a Higher Diploma in Art & Design Education. 

Leanne explains, "I choose to challenge a society that puts me in a box and makes assumptions about who I am and who I should be, I challenge this daily."

As a visual artist Leanne feels she has a unique opportunity to represent and record her community from within. Through visual art that she has grown in self-awareness, and chosen to define herself rather than be defined by anyone else. Her work is an expression of herself, and is vastly influenced by her childhood memories and personal experiences, which are ultimately those of an Irish Traveller. 

For Leanne, art is a vehicle for self-expression and it is a type of communication that can surpass cultural boundaries and divides.
