Bio

Tamara Haque is a Strategist by day and writer by night. Bangladeshi by birth and with roots in Saudi Arabia, Malaysia and Australia, Tamara loved the multi-culturalism in her upbringing and worldview. Her perceptions shattered while learning about orientalism and post-colonialism in her Masters in Interational Relations and Interational Law, and decided to change narratives for children from a young age. Thus started her journey in decolonising history.
