Farhana Mou
Farhana Chowdhury, stage name Farhana Mou. I am a mathematician, teaching maths in secondary level. My degree is in Financial Mathematics. Also training in cyber security. I’m multilingual in Bangla, English, french, Hindi, Urdu. Arabic.
I am the cultural secretary of Probashi Odhikar Porishad. I worked with many tv channels & media. I was head of communications & alliance for Iontv, live show & news presenter for Iontv, NTV, Islam Chanel, etc
I was the membership secretary of a cultural organisation Purbachal the Eastern sky. I present a Bangla radio show called Shudhu bangla, every Sunday 7-9 on Diverse FM. I perform many stage shows where I sing, dance, act & model for fashion. I used to be the dance facilitator of CYCD (Centre for Youth and Community Development) where I taught heritage dances to young children & perform along with them. I took part in modelling Eid fashion shows. I lead Eid fashion parade for several years in Oxford, London & Luton town. My latest challenge was to act as a leading actress of a supernatural thriller. The film Spellbound was released on the 24th of February, at Cineworld, Ilford.
Born in Dhaka Bangladesh, did my primary studies in Holy Cross School, moved to Canada in my early teens where I studied in French medium in Montreal, & finished OAC in Lisgar Collegiate (equivalent of A level) in Ottawa & enrolled to study Maths in Ottawa University. Then I moved to Uk by marriage at the age of 20. Worked in editing newspapers in London using Adobe photoshop & QuarkXpress. Did my degree later on Financial Mathematics from University of Hertfordshire. Been living & teaching in Welwyn Garden City ever since.
From early years I enjoyed taking part in many extra curricular activities besides studies. I acquire my skills in singing & dancing from Jhonkar Lalitokola Academy in Dhaka. Table tennis, basketball, archery are my favourite sports out of many. I was the debate president of Holy Cross School. Was always the heart of cultural shows in school & in community. In secondary school in Canada I managed to gather up with Bengali community & ran a radio program in Bangla for an hour every Sunday from Carlton university, Ottawa.
My husband Afzal Azhar Chowdhury is a barrister solicitor is the head of legal service for the police force. He studied in private boarding schools. Hence a bit detached from our culture. Also training to become a district judge.
Since marriage I faced many challenges & was out of touch with Bangla culture for a while. My pride & joy was in raising my 4 children.
I am a fun loving person yet like to take my responsibilities seriously. The richness of Bangla culture inspires me. I love working with children & would like to help our children learn the best of our culture & get more involved in cultural activities.
