Yumnaa Raja & M. Haris Rasheed
Yumnaa and Haris are educators who believe that young people have far more to say than the classroom often gives them space for.
Yumnaa, an English educator, editor and lifelong reader, has spent years helping young writers find clarity, confidence and a voice of their own. Haris, an educator and storyteller, sees enormous potential in the ideas, imagination and perspectives of the young people growing up today.
Together, they founded Muzayrah to create a space where young writers can move beyond grades and assignments, have their words genuinely read and valued, and see their ideas recognised, shared and brought to life.
