'Lateefah hosted a masterclass for my SoYouWantToBeAJournalist and I couldn't recommend her enough! Her class was so well-researched, engaging, and delivered in such a thoughtful way. She provided actionable advice and we had some really positive feedback following the class."

"I found it really refreshing to be honest, I’m at the beginning of my freelancing journey and the fact you focused on clear things to do (like the bank account and seperate email) that were pretty simple was way less overwhelming than looking into it alone, or even what I was told at uni doing a Journalism course. Overall I found it good for building confidence but also being realistic and grounding expectations!"
