Khadija – 81 Years Young, Still Boss Lady!

My name Khadija. I am 81 year… young, not old! Young! You hear me? Life is good, Alhamdulillah. I pray five time every day, I read my Quran, I love my Prophet – because he teach love, teach kind, teach good heart. This make me strong like… like Lion King!

I go Hajj 2024, best place ever – five star, no hotel problem! Now I have 17 grandchildren and 40 great-grandchildren. Forty! My WhatsApp never sleep, always ding-ding-ding. I need secretary, wallah!

People ask me, “Khadija, what is secret?” I tell them, secret is simple: eat good food, laugh big, hold tight to faith, be kind to everybody! Life too short for angry face, habibi.

Now I am health guide for Blossom Group. We do workshop, support group, tea-drink group – everything! You come, you be happy, you get healthy, maybe little gossip, why not?

Listen, Wallahi, It’s Important!

You know Blossom Group? We not just drink tea and do workshop, no! We also on RADIO, habibi! Every Friday, 12 o’clock to 1 o’clock, we talk about all the health – physical health, mental health, emotional health, even what things make you sick or stress. Everything! No hiding.

Supporting Mental Health with Compassionate Groups

Listen, listen, I tell you something very good – five things to make your brain happy, heart happy, life happy. They call it Five Ways to Wellbeing. Sounds fancy, but easy, wallahi.

Step One: CONNECT
Talk to people! Your family, your friend, even the cat. Don’t sit alone like sad potato. Go say hello, drink tea, laugh. When you connect, your heart say, “Thank you!”

Step Two: BE ACTIVE
Move your body, habibi! No need to run marathon – even small walk, dance in kitchen, chase bus… it all count! When you move, your mood go up-up like balloon!

Step Three: TAKE NOTICE
Open your eyes! Look around, smell the flower, listen to the bird. Put down phone for one minute. Appreciate little thing – like nice weather or hot samosa. This make your mind calm.

Step Four: KEEP LEARNING
Learn new thing! Cook new food, try new hobby, maybe salsa dance like me! When you learn, your brain feel young, not rusty like old tap!

Step Five: GIVE
Share, help, be kind. Give smile, give time, give hug. Even small kindness make big difference – for other people AND for you. Prophet teach love, wallahi it true!

So, remember these five: CONNECT, BE ACTIVE, TAKE NOTICE, KEEP LEARNING, and GIVE. Do these, and you be happy like me – 81 and still shaking in salsa class!

Come to the People!

Listen, I tell you something important. For many years, the people we serve – wallahi, they were ignored. Nobody listen. People making big decisions, they go to so-called “leaders” in our community. Leaders? What leaders?! We don’t have leaders. We don’t need leaders!

You want real change? Come talk to the people – people like me, Khadija! Sit with us, drink tea, hear our problems. Not just photo, not just speech – real talk. This is how you bring real change.

Blossom Group say: make us co-producers! Or better, let us produce our own solutions! We know our life, we know our culture, we know what works.

Do you know what we have done? In our programmes, we reached over 50,000 people. Most of them? Nobody ever approached them before. Just think of the consequences of ignoring them!

And listen to this – out of 450 women in Newham, 90 were not even registered with their GP. Ninety! No doctor, no check, nothing! Imagine the risk, the sickness, the danger. This is why Blossom Group is here – because we care, and we act.

Real change happen when you come to the people, not when you sit in big office and make fancy plan. Come, talk to us. Work with us. Together, we make life better for everyone.
