Among these go-getters is Maryam Paruk who started designing polymer clay adornments last year. “I started Ubumba for a couple of reasons. The idea came to me last summer when we were between lockdowns and it was like a switch was flicked. I was craving a creative outlet that I could immerse myself in once I realised restrictions would be on the cards for a long while. It was an opportunity for me to learn something new.

Having been spoiled with gorgeous food growing up, Lara Battigelli has always had a great interest in food. Now, she has started her food blog ‘Lara’s Bites’ through which she provides fun, easy, and delicious recipes inspired by her childhood. She explains; “my dad is a great cultural mix of Indian and Italian so I was brought up around such a mix of flavours. My mam cooked more traditional Irish cuisine such as stews and roast dinners and my dad always cooked more ethnic foods so I really didn’t realise how special that was until I was older!” Her all time favourite meal being her dad’s Lamb Biriyani recipe with potato masala, Lara expresses her unawareness of the incredible food experience her dad provided; “I thought everyone had Vindaloo or gnocchi for dinner. My friends always loved coming to my house for food, now I understand why!”
