Ruby Dhal

It’s World Poetry Day! Sonya is chatting to poet and best-selling author of three books, Ruby Dhal. She also has an online business, selling books and writing materials. She shares her amazing story of how she got into poetry, as a way to deal with the grief she felt after losing her mum as a young child and how she's made a successful career in the creative industry.

This week’s 60 Second Career comes from Raima Butt, a master's student who set up the Islamic Party Store, an online party store which caters for Islamic celebrations, which she started in 2020 during lockdown.
