I'm a journalist, I write features on anything that grabs my interest - culture, food, design, lifestyle, even the odd controversial comment piece or two. I used to work for the Guardian and Observer and left to go freelance last year. I now write for lots of different titles, including The Guardian (still), The Independent, The Times. I also come on the wireless once a week for the BBC Asian Network, and you can usually hear what I sound like on iPlayer.
In my time, I've won awards and stuff (Highly Commended in the Women of the Future Media Awards (2008), a finalist in the Prince of Wales Mosaic Talent awards in the Arts, Culture and Media category and 'Most Promising Newcomer' at the BIBA press awards in 2007). Yonks ago, I was asked to be on the sofa with Bill and Sian on BBC Breakfast which my husband insisted on putting on You Tube.

Meanwhile you can see all my ongoing freelance work at my professional print and broadcast portfolio which is www.humaqureshi.co.uk. It's often totally different to what you'll read here, but don't let that put you off.
