I am deeply grateful to Pen to Print for sharing my story and featuring my book on their platform. Writing a book is undoubtedly a journey, and in a saturated market where everyone is competing for attention, it means a great deal to have my work — and the challenges faced by my community — recognised. I’m truly honoured that my book is receiving further recognition. Thank you again! n.

As we explore the root causes of poverty within the Bangladeshi community in London on the Reality Show with Mahee on Channel S, let’s take this opportunity to remind our community of the lasting impact of COVID-19—and how we came together in response.

It was a delight to have left a signed copy of ' Covid Crisis: the Brit-Bangla Response'  to the Scarlett Letters Bookshop on Cambridge Heath Road, Tower Hamlets. I really hope that the local community will benefit from learning about its community through my book.  

  I am grateful to Hasina Momtaz for inviting me to the Guildhall this afternoon to celebrate Victory Day for Bangladesh and in a cheeky way, I managed to promote my book -'Covid Crisis, the BritBangla Response'. I would especially like to thank Munsur Ali CC , Sheikh Aliur Rahman OBE , Snigdha K S Misty and others.

In one day Ripon Ray promoted 'Covid Crisis: the Brit-Bangla Response' book in two different places in London.  Initially, it started when Ripon delivered a workshop to ESOL students in Tower Hamlets to a group of women who live locally. It was organised by Becky Winstanley on behalf of English4All. Ripon spoke about the subject: 'Housing, council tax & your rights .' After the workshop,  Becky explained that Ripon wrote the book. It resulted in the women in the seminar speaking about their experience of Covid for better or worse.  Afterwards we took a group photo to remind ourselves of the history of the Bengali experience during the pandemic.  After the event, Ripon was invited to discuss the cause of poverty in the Bangladeshi community in Britain which resulted in a heavy debate between the penal members and the host. To conclude the event, the panel members got together to learn about the book.
