Refat Yasmeen is an independent researcher, children’s author, mental health nurse, and BAFTA-nominated film producer. Her work bridges creative practice and academic inquiry to reclaim erased histories and amplify the voices of marginalised Jammu diaspora communities.

With expertise spanning healthcare, multimedia, and cultural heritage projects, Refat delivers initiatives that are socially impactful, culturally rooted, and funder-ready — from accessible children’s publishing (Emna’s Journey) to theatre productions (The River That Remembers) and academic research on trauma, identity, and language preservation.
