Hello!
Welcome to my page. My name is Humaira Iqbal. I am a British South Asian born and bred East London based Writer, Poet and Actor with a BA (Hons) Acting from the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama. I have worked in the industry professionally for just over three years as both as an actor and writer having worked with many exceptional actors, directors and writers here in the U.K.
I have created this Go Fund Me to ask for your support in gaining a dream, a fresh start and to ultimately develop into a writer that will be a voice for the unknown and the unrepresented.
I was recently honoured to have been offered a place at the prestigious school, The Tisch School of Arts (New York University) on the Rita & Burton Goldberg Department of Dramatic Writing MFA programme.
It would be impossible to reach this target on my own in the next few months, which has left me to reach out, to ask for help. I truly believe together we can do this, there is always a strength in numbers. If you are able to support me on my journey in any way, it would be greatly appreciated. To provide you with a small example of costs per semester, approximately tuition and fees equal to $32,963 not including a 3.5-4% increase in tuition fees.
Being offered a place on the Dramatic Writing Programme at Tisch NYU is an absolute dream come true, and if you know me personally, you know that it really has been a dream of mine for years, I have always believed the big apple to be a second home. The Dramatic Writing program at NYU/Tisch will give me the vital tools to develop into an established writer with a clear vision entering the industry globally. I only dream to be a unique writer with structure, understanding the structural rules, but ultimately flourishing into an individual artist, to become an authentic writer with a discipline of the art, but also the timelines of the industry. I admire that the dramatic writing program offers phenomenal training, making it possible to collaborate with amazing artists from all over the world.
'Writing allows me to feel alive, to be counting my blessings to share new unknown stories with people. To actively always see new, to allow myself to stay open to the world around me. To actively use my senses, to see, to listen, to smell, to touch and taste, to help me write something raw for the stage/screen. To be active, to be actively keep striving to make change, to create happiness and never stop observing and producing work with meaning, to give a voice to people who never are given a voice'
To share my eternal gratitude, i would like to share pledges of love X Redeem predges by [email redacted]don on Instagram or directly contacting me via GoFundMe.

I have attached two of my poems below to give you a taste of my writing and how I write through my soul.
Free Sonnet: Honey + Jam
Shall we walk hand in hand through thick and thin?
Come forth, the adventure can’t be hard, when love blooms through,
We work to mend, love conquers through the weakened mind,
All the signs come true, fie fie, it hurts to ever say goodbye,
I sigh and sigh, attitudes arise, but the love burns bright.
And I remember, reminisce the first time, do you?
Cough cough we laugh, the first date, The Real Greek,
Then walk and talk, take a seat upon the gardens of eve, our east,
Waiting patiently through your eyes of peace,
You pull me forward and take that wise leap, as our lips meet.
Will the touch of time, fulfil our endless love?
We walk away, but we can’t walk away,
What’s mine is yours, my soul, dreaming the good dream,
The growth of our future should be the only necessary optimistic scene,
Scene by scene, our movie in the making only begins.
No great movie is without a little drama,
But the genre of love will surpass the blame and get calmer,
I welcome thee, to the love, the book of our next saga.
36 Hours in Ill-Town Prolouge Sonnet
He says he hits me coz he loves me, no?
Fie be upon you, why show anger or fear,
No one is perfect, we all make mistakes,
Come forth a man, when man admits to change.
And there will be a cry, time for goodbye?
Who’s a magician, man of superstition,
He rejected truth and now turns away,
Then he stalked his family in full conceit.
Will intoxication of death bring truth?
My soul whispers to him, the deep sighs begin,
Tick tock, when the two receivers receive,
My soul is now released, from love to foe.
His heavy hand became my blood heart stain,
Fie love, fie the crazy, why? Fie being tame’.

These things don't happen to girls like me, little brown girls from east London are rarely presented with these life changing opportunities.
I want to Thank-You for taking the time to read part of a chapter in this story of my life and I hope you will ride this journey with me, being part of my story. SUPPORT, SHARE AND SHARE x
BIG LOVE!
