Our Syrian Yorkshire Lass
so lovely to see Razen on the BBC Escape to the Country programme yesterday afternoon. The show was helping a couple find a property in Yorkshire (my birthplace) in the format of the show they visit and explore interesting places & people in the area. How wonderful that Razen was chosen from her value of Yorkshire Dairy farmers milk quality to make her Squeaky Yorkshire Dama Cheese follow the link for her delicious products but also her story of fleeing war losing all but proactive building a business in Yorkshire as her safe place to be. She inspirational brings tears to my eyes with awe and knowing all she has bee through. My work with my refugees gives me insight. I have met Razen and heard her speak at Kings College, humble lady that glows with inspiration and love for all she does. You can see in the face of the presenter how she connects with people and are touched by her resilience.
