Griffin Farley’s (BBH) Beautiful Minds Strategy Program
Beautiful Minds is a program seeking to help mold aspiring strategists by equipping them with the necessary knowledge and hands-on experience. Upon selection, I attended a crash course “boot camp” to learn the best practices in strategy from top planners in the industry. Participants split up into teams to tackle a client brief for which they have 24 hours to brainstorm a comprehensive strategy. We developed insights and spec creative for our plan and presented in front of a series of judges the following day.

Journalism
Outside of my PR and social media work, I am a writer and newsletter manager for Brown Girl Magazine and India.com. These well-recognized brands in the world of the South Asian diaspora grant me a platform to explore my passion in shedding light on important ideas and conflicts within the Bangladeshi, Muslim, immigrant and female demographics. Please see a list of my coverage in the “News” section. I also cover these topics in my personal blog.
Several of my stories have been among the most well-received in our audience of over a million unique readers. My piece covering the suicide of a young Bangladeshi woman in NYC inciting an opportunity to discuss controversial topics in the South Asian community was organically shared by 400+ users on Facebook, and landed in Brown Girl Magazine’s Top Reads of 2016.
