Recently our Young Women’s Groups in North and East Brighton were visited by Henna artist Huda of Henna by Huda, who created some beautiful intricate designs for them.
Huda first encountered TDC through our Multicultural Employability Support Hub: MESH. She previously shared her skills at TDC with with Learn Around the World, creating henna designs for our English language learners, and now our Young Women’s Groups have had the chance to experience the fun too.
Huda has been a henna artist since she was 16, specialising in creating these distinctive semi-permanent tattoos, which last for a couple of weeks.
Evie Beardmore who runs one of the Young Women’s Groups said:
It was brilliant having Huda at our young women’s session. It was a great atmosphere; Huda and the girls spoke about henna and the years of practice Huda has had. Huda shared that she moved to the UK from Sudan four years ago and we had the pleasure of meeting her two children. Huda is incredibly talented and the girls were so pleased with their designs. It was great to bring new people together and connect.
TDC has loved working with Huda bringing her skills to our different projects and helping different groups in the city to connect over this brilliant activity.
