Hi there, I’m Hana (also known as Malika Speaks)! For several years, I worked with Metal as a spoken word artist and producer on various occasions alongside teaching and research, before joining the Peterborough team in July 2024. I was born and raised in the city, moving to London briefly to complete my BA in International Politics, before being crowned Peterborough Poet Laureate 2019-2021. I have performed and appeared on TV and radio shows, including BBC Look East and BBC Cambridgeshire Radio. My passion lies in community cohesion, inclusivity, wellbeing and empowering others. I love trying new things from skydiving to radio hosting and when I’m winding down, I’m diving into a book or lifting weights. One of my favourite books is Emerald Companion, a collection of poetry, prose and aphorisms, which provoke thought as you decipher their inspiring wisdom.
