I spent two years writing this story. It is about the murder of my grandfather and the birth of Bangladesh and how those two things are inextricably linked, for @nybooks
I wrote an essay about my brother, who is the closest thing I have to a father for @BritishGQ. It is about how grief turned a teenage boy into a withdrawn, irrationally angry man. And about how I resent him, in the way you might resent your maker.
In what is my favourite piece I’ve ever written, I wrote an essay about all-girls schools, their feral warmth and chaos, and growing up as good little misogynists for @The_Fence_Mag

Who do you call when your abuser is a police officer? I wrote about the terror of police-perpetrated domestic abuse, and the systemic failures that allow it to go unchecked, for @FTWeekend. This is a story about a woman living in custody, in her own home. on.ft.com/3OLGX9T

Wrote an essay for @NewStatesman about my biggest fears: getting pregnant, failing to get pregnant, giving birth and dying, giving birth and surviving—only to then have to keep the thing alive. A spiral distilled into prose and an ode to my mother.
I wrote briefly about the hours of emotional interviews behind the @TBIJ + @bureaulocal investigations on barriers to Covid-19 vaccines for migrants — and what it was like researching health inequality within the span of my two doses.
In the wake of Poland’s near-total abortion ban, children are being awarded extra credit for creating pro-life artwork, stories and songs. I reported on how anti-abortion rhetoric is pervading the country’s education system for @VICEWorldNews vice.com/en/article/xgz…
