"When I first met Abdel-Magied, I was drawn to her infectious positivity. There are no traces of anger or trauma to betray her persistent smile, making it difficult to reconcile the intense pain of her story with the extraordinary presence of a woman who clearly loves to laugh."
“[Her new projects are] a fantastic way for those not acquainted with Yassmin Abdel Magied, to understand that her character is in equal parts: sincere, profound wisdom to witty, rebellious humour. Her genuine nature, open hearted laughter, bubbling enthusiasm and deep-rooted honesty is a powerful combination.”
"I came to heal, I wanted to figure out what I wanted to do with my life. When I decided to leave Australia I literally quit everything for the first time in 12 years. I was like, 'I wonder what it would be like if I started from scratch?' And London was that opportunity. We can be whatever we can be in this city which is incredible."
