Be it ever so humble, we still have our little faith. It is about a church in the Bidibidi settlement, and also about IGHD - a photo taken in the Bidibidi settlement, Uganda.

This is one of the series of photographs that depict some of the challenges faced by the displaced and war-affected communities, but also their resilience and engagement in addressing their circumstances.

This one comes from my IGHD PhD research project conducted in four districts in Sierra Leone: Bo, Makeni, Wester Area and Kono. The picture shows me and my research assistant working in one of the communities. Using a rapid ethnographic approach to understand how perinatal women experience and express psychological distress, their coping mechanisms and help-seeking behaviour, a screening tool was co-developed with and for the community.

The image shows my colleagues Leyla Kerlaff and Arek Dakessian. We were in Birmingham in spring 2019, conducting social connections mapping workshops with third sector colleagues and reunited refugee families.
Late in the day we found this shop front and couldn’t resist capturing the moment. That morning we’d heard gruelling accounts of the difficulties of providing integration support to refugees in an era of austerity and legislative restrictions. The photo provided some light relief. We thought we’d found a true one-off shopping experience, and only later discovered this was not a real store but a piece by the ‘Birmingham Banksy’.

This is one of the photographs that signify the importance of my experience at ÌÒ×ÓÊÓƵ and Edinburgh. They are symbolic of my growth not only as a professional but as a human being as well. Pictures speak a thousand words and I hope these photos are able to convey my message of how I learnt to spread my wings and fly through the lustrous skies of Edinburgh.
