	Fuse Fest - 15th May!! and campaign update	223 Tage her
	Hello hello hello people, The past few weeks have been crazy busy. I'll start off with more news about Fuse Fest: So It's finally happening next week Friday (15th May) at SOAS from 7 - 10pm I've got a Myspace group and a Fb group which you can both find details of on it's website http://fusefest.weebly.com I've got a couple more performers confirmed as well. Lemoy, the Siamese Empress is a female rapper, look her up on myspace. Definitely not your everyday Muslim lady. And also Mohammed Yahya who has some of the funkiest tunes I've heard in a long time. And funky is not a word I normally use. He's also on myspace..but your best way of getting to hear these people is by coming along for free!! FUSE FEST - FRIDAY 15TH MAY - SOAS, RUSSEL SQUARE - FREE!! OK, so spread the word. Apart from that, the campaign itslef seems to be finding its place in the big world. I got invited to be a guest speaker at a dialogue by Creative Partnerships ( www.creative-partnerships.com )on how Muslims are represented in the Media last week in Bradford. I was well chuffed. My fellow Guest speakers were from Gazelle Media (a media group who have made lots of programmes about British muslims) and the Prevent scheme (which is about preventing violent extremism...I'm not a massive fan of the assumptions this scheme is based on, but still good to hear from one of the young Muslims involved). I've also been invited to a 'lab' being held by Couscous global ( www.couscousgloabl.com )who 'provide a platform to discuss and debate for teenagers and young adults world wide.' and PAL who you can find out more about at www.pallabs.org The lab is basically going to be me and a load of other people who are young adults, policy makers and artists to gget together and discus creative ways of dealing with problems that young people have to deal with. It's going to be a great way of me discussing how I can go forward with my campaign past Fuse Fest. And if you have any suggestions about how it can be most effective, remember to leave a comment on my battlefront page. Ok..this has been very long, I'm sorry. I'll speak soon. Very busy week festival-planning ahead! x x x
