Skills
I'm offering
I'm Musufing and a key part of what makes me tick is culture, heritage and history so a lot of what I do resonates around that. I have worked in the field of health awareness development, nutrition, catering as well as having a parallel career in theatre, writing and performing poetry, radio production and presentation. I have a podcast series which is all about the life and times of a 65+ year old Jamaican woman living in the UK.
In the course of my working life I have gained skills in basic administration, proofreading, writing, customer service in person and answering telephone queries. I worked for the Citizens Advice Bureau for 3 years as a young mum and have a preliminary counselling skills accreditation.
I worked within the Youth Service in Leeds in a peer health support role and naturally mentor and support young people to define and implement their skills.
Bringing my passions togther to create an entrepreneurial platform is my work right now, when people ask me what I there's no simple answer. I have devised an exciting (I think project) which is all about food and heritage, celebrating cooking methods and recipes and promoting eating together. I draw on my Jamaican and African food influence and background then encourage others to draw on theirs. The project incorporates nutrition, arts and culture.
If you need a storyteller, voice actor, cultural content, nutritional content or writer I could be an interesting choice.
