We are proud to be partnering with independent publisher, Saqi Books to run a competition to win a copy of RISE by Maliha Abidi, plus a print from the book!
RISE celebrates the inspirational stories of 100 remarkable women of colour. From the entrepreneur with a homemade marmalade business who went on to found Women’s World Banking, to the educator who built the first university in the world; and from the athlete who fled civil war on a sinking boat and then swam in the Olympics, to the first Black female astronaut, these trailblazers have risen above challenges to reach dizzying heights.
The competition
What we are looking for
- A written profile: use 500 words to tell us about your chosen person and why you find

OR
- An artwork of your chosen person. You can create the artwork any way you like: it can

The prize
One written entry and one artwork will win a copy of the book RISE by Maliha Abidi and
a print of one of her illustrations!
