My queerness is something that I’ve learned to love – GAYTIMES Magazine
Reconciling with my womanhood and queer identity helped me find myself. Coming out as she/her and realising that in order to accept my womanhood I would have to unlearn much of what I’ve been taught about womanhood.

“There is a drive to make the world of nature a place for everyone” – BBC Wildlife Magazine
For BBC Wildlife Magazine I was very proud to have written a 3 page spread on the issue of diversity in the natural history and conservation industry. This is an issue that has affected me for as long as I can remember, and growing up has influenced and caused my love of the environment to wax and wane – as someone who identifies with various minority groups, I have found myself becoming somewhat of a voice for the representation I so craved, and in developing and writing this piece I conducted over 10 hours worth of interviews with extremely pivotal people in the fight for representation, diversity and intersectionality in the world of natural history. This article was also featured in a piece on groups in the natural history industry below…

Interviewed and Featured
I have also been featured in a number of articles, some where I have been interviewed for my experience in certain subjects, and some simply because I had a sign with the right words…
Changing Perspectives in the Countryside: Jasmine Isa Qureshi
I was interviewed by the Museum of Rural English Life for a series called Changing Perspectives, in which 7 people of colour talked weekly about our love for the countryside and how it has affected us.
“As part of The MERL’s Building Connections project (funded by Arts Council England), we have sought to explore different stories and themes that live within our collection from the history of the English countryside.
Learn about Jasmine’s experiences of the English countryside, their fantastic passion for conservation, and their commitment to including people and nature together in conversations about caring for the natural world.”

GEN-Z and PRIDE – GAYTIMES Magazine
Very cool to be featured in Gaytimes Magazine, I was interviewed by Zoya-Sheikh about my opinion on Pride and the direction its taking and the direction it should be taking, it was amazing to be featured in a magazine I’ve long admired but never been able to afford regular subscription to.
