Hello there, I’m Sidra, and I am the creator of The Activated Pod.

I began my journey as a community organiser and activist, driven by a commitment to amplify voices and stories often overlooked. My work on the ground showed me the power of storytelling in creating change. This led me to transition into learning about journalism and media.

Today, I am a freelance content creator dedicated to community reporting. I have a strong interest in political commentary and investigative storytelling. I also celebrate and amplify working-class communities.

I create content that cuts through noise and challenges narratives. As the creator of The Activated Pod, I produce informative, engaging videos and encourage discussions exploring power, media, and society. I hold a degree in Global Journalism and Public Relations and I am passionate about simplifying complex stories for digital audiences. Whether reporting on local news, analysing global events, or creating in-depth explainers, my work centres on clarity, integrity, and impact.

Believe in a media that empowers.
