" "My passion for addressing socio-economic and environmental challenges drives me to seek innovative and community-focused solutions. Through the Millennium Fellowship, I hope to strengthen my leadership qualities, build networks with like-minded policymakers, and design initiatives that create progress towards the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals."

Millennium Fellowship Project: Sound of Our City
"Sound of Our City" is about giving voice to the people in our community and keeping their stories alive. This project aims to document the stories and build a digital archive of them. To bring these voices to the community, I will host a screening and organise a roundtable discussion, aiming to reach 50-100 people. This project aligns primarily with SDG 11, especially 11.4, which emphasises safeguarding the world's heritage. It also works towards reducing inequalities (SDG 10) and ensures that every community's voice is remembered.
