Bear Lawrence

Hi,

I'm Bear Lawrence and I’ve enjoyed an interesting life. I’ve worked as a delivery driver in Norway, a helicopter tour pilot in the Caribbean, and a flight instructor in Oregon. In the UK I’ve been a sales assistant, gardener, landlord, biomedical engineer and award-winning inventor. I’ve even been lucky enough to have raced motorbikes, karts and yachts.

Suffering from stress as an overloaded university lecturer, I caught a viral infection and was in bed for seven weeks. Afterwards, I found I was utterly fatigued all of the time. Five months later, my GP diagnosed me with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, or simply ME. ME is also known as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), or ME/CFS.

Struggling to articulate the illness to friends and family, I star

Dr Qiana Gray

Dr. Qiana Gray is from Los Angeles, CA. She is an educator that has traveled the world, visiting over 20 countries and living in four - America, Mexico, South Korea, and South Africa. Her passion for reading started at a young age. Growing up in a literacy-rich household where reading for pleasure was encouraged, she grew to love getting lost in a good book and expressing her ideas through pen to paper.

At an early age, as an introverted child, she realized she expressed herself better in written form than when speaking. Therefore she grew to love writing poetry and short stories. Her poetry was published in one book of poetry when she was thirteen years old, and from that moment, she knew she wanted to fulfill her dream of becoming a succe

Walaa Quisay

I am a Leverhulme Early Career Fellow at the School of Divinity at the University of Edinburgh. As a Cultural Anthropologist and Scholar of Religion, my research comprises the study of carceral practices and theologies, subject formations, and meaning-making practices of Muslim communities. I employ an ethnographic approach, anchored in extensive fieldwork, to explore the structural dynamics between state violence and political theology. Central to this exploration is the understanding of how Muslims navigate tribulation and human suffering and adapt their ritual practices—in the broader contexts of secular modernity, political violence, and carcerality—and reconcile them with God, authority, and doctrine. I have sought to understand this w
