Rabya Lomas is a photographer, activist, coach and podcaster who creates space for marginalised folk, influencing inclusion across social media and in the workplace. I discovered Rabya's work at when seeking women who looked like me and who were holding their own on what I saw as a very homogeneous space of Instagram.  Rabya's work immediately resonated with me and it's been wonderful to follow her creative practice and evolution. Rabya has driven the ethnicity pay gap petition, whilst supporting the community with her creative gifts always ensuring that those normally side lined or ignored are represented. Hear how Rabya has found her path and how we connected through our life experiences with mixed heritage and identities.     Welcome to Leaven Podcast. It's a series of conversations with people who have been through something formative and navigated a mad old path, yet done so with courage, holding on to hope. We elevate what it means to be human, voices of wisdom and models of lived experience, thinking, speaking, and living life regardless of what's shaped you.

"You can claim your space too in whatever art form feels right to you" In this episode of The Intentional Mum I chat to the incredible Rabya Lomas about reinvention and nurture. Rabya Lomas is a super talent woman who inspires others through her incredible photography and passionate words and our conversation is no exception. Rabya's story is such a powerful one.  We start by chatting about Rabya's experiencing of returning back to the workplace following maternity and her feeling of being jaded and burnt out. A creative outlet at the time was Instagram where Rabya developed her photography style and found her voice, but found that even in those online spaces she faced the same erasure she was feeling in the workplace. These experiences led to Rabya publicly speaking out on Instagram stories about her frustration – something which as well as being incredibly cathartic also opened up her own learning and unlearning when it comes to racism. In bringing these experiences to her photography Rabya has made her Instagram into something truly empowering and inspirational. We talk about the importance of representation and for children from global majority backgrounds to be able to see themselves in leading roles (whether that's in film or in business), as well as the importance of centring stories on joy rather than just pain and trauma. Rabya shares her experiences of the workplace and how her ethnicity has impacted on those experiences. We talk about how motherhood changed our perspective on work and the events that led to Rabya's decision to leave the 9-5 system and the growth required to be able to take that decision. We also chat about predominantly white spaces and the need to create inclusive workspaces. Rabya is passionate about reinventing what work places should look and feel like. In spring 2020 Rabya created the ethnicity pay gap petition – a petition to the UK Parliament to make ethnicity pay gap reporting mandatory for businesses alongside the existing requirement to to report gender pay gaps.  Rabya's shares her feelings about the attention her petition received as a result of George Floyd's murder. We also talk about self-care and nourishing yourself and the importance of that, whether through cooking, gardening or just taking time offline. This is especially important for mums as we often put ourselves last. Rabya loves solo cinema trips so we have a great chat about going to the cinema for some alone time. This chat brings us onto board games as both Rabya and I are big board game fans. I finish by asking Rabya what the biggest thing she has learnt from the last year in lockdown and I know her answer will really resonate with you.

Full show notes at https://lucylucraft.com/s4e14 Today’s episode is a JUICY one, as ever and it’s particularly brilliant because it’s with one of my very favourite IN REAL LIFE friends Rabya Lomas aka She Flourished. Rabya is a beautiful writer and photographer creating playful, whimsical and political content on her blog and Instagram.  We chatted about Rabya’s experience of covert racism, how to be a good ally, white supremacy and *that* slow fashion takedown. Show it some love over on Instagram if you enjoyed the episode - it’s potentially the last ever episode so I’d love to go out with a bang! L x

This week's guest is Rabya Lomas, who balances a corporate 9-5 with playful content creation on Instagram. We talked how play shouldn't just be for children, finding her creativity, and navigating between playfulness and activism. We also discussed why she isn't giving up her day job anytime soon, letting herself find her way towards what she wants to do, and diversity, or the lack thereof, in Influencer platforms.

Rabya Lomas takes play really bloody seriously. She is a multifaceted woman who happens to be of dual British and Pakistani heritage, working full time as a project manager with an enthusiastic interest in Playful Living. Rabya's instagram feed is one of joyous fun - from pancakes and bubbles, a stairway of dreams, to imaginative ways with coffee beans - she is always looking to share and help others find their play so that can show up happy to their lives. And this is not some whimsical frippery. Rabya believes there is power in play.  When we are engaged in play with our minds and bodies we are wholly free in those moments.  Free to explore without expectations or outcomes, free to discover yourself in those moments, free to unlock creative potential. and every piece of research I have read agrees with her! We talk about what it was like for Rabya to grow up in her British Pakistani family, how she chose love over expectations, how she is learning to navigate her multifaceted self online and in real life, and why play matters SO much in these interesting times. 

Rabya Lomas is probably most well-known for her Instagram account @sheflourished_. She approaches her photos with such playfulness and creativity, and has also started taking steps towards turning her online following into a business. I loved hearing about how she gets her creative inspiration, and we also spoke about cutting yourself some slack, and staying safe when you share your life online. Enjoy! "I find having a go at myself and talking to myself in the negative voice just doesn't help, and cutting myself some slack usually gets me in the right frame of mind and the right kind of energy to do the things that I want to do. It's just a shuffle, it's not a sprint." - Rabya Lomas "She Flourished" Some of the things we talked about: Exploring your creative self Why playful living is so important (and what we can learn from children) Kicking yourself for moving too slowly, and cutting yourself some slack Hiding your online activity from your real-life friends Staying safe when you post your location on social media For episode show notes & links, head to https://ruthpoundwhite.com/podcast/

I have another coaching episode for you this week. I really wanted to talk to Rabya Lomas because she is starting her business from a really strong sense of purpose. Rather than monetise her Instagram in some of the more obvious ways, she is really passionate about her why and starting a business around that. In this episode we talk about some ways to focus on your business baby when you’re also working full time and have a family, focusing on owned channels and the importance of play.
