I began my career as a school teacher in Myanmar, teaching English, physics, and chemistry. However, in August 2017, escalating violence forced me to abandon my university studies and flee to Bangladesh.
My journey to Bangladesh was horrible. I escaped burning and killing and found refuge in paddy fields and forests, surviving on wild weeds. The river crossing felt like an ocean, and I almost drowned. Walking barefoot to the Bangladesh border with my family was an unforgettable nightmare.
When I first arrived at the refugee camp, I had to assist international journalists as a fixer and interpreter. This exposed me to photography,videography and journalism, sparking my interest in documenting the Rohingya community’s life.
