Last year, London-based street artist Dreph painted a series of portraits of women called "Migration Series". This followed the first series from 2017, "You Are Enough". In this new series, Dreph looks at people who have come to London who have established either a sense of community or humanitarian efforts and who have become an inspiration. The third portrait was painted in Soho at the end of May last year. It features Fatima Najm, who founded creativesagainstpoverty.
Fatima was born in Pakistan and raised there and in U.A.E. She currently lives in London and supports communities that have conflict, disaster, and poverty. She tries to help those in conflict areas deal with the frustrations through artistic means and to help prevent additional conflict as well as to put the talents of people to use. She also helps refugees and asylum seekers with obtaining the skills they need to integrate into British society.
