we as a community forget the power we have. our dads came to this country, and they didn t even speak the language. they gave birth to a completely different industry. we re smart people, we re creative people. what does it mean to be a british bangladeshi? for me, it s supporting england in football and bangladesh in cricket. it s speaking bangla and english in the exact same sentence. it s eating rice and curry for mains and british chocolates for dessert. it s having a shopping list that starts with milk and bread and ends with bhang and naga chillies. it s putting my playlist on shuffle, appreciating both asian and western music. it s having a nine to fivejob on weekdays and helping the family business on weekends.
