Azim Ahmed interviews Bablin Molik, the first Muslim Lord Mayor of Cardiff.

During the holy month of Ramadan, Azim Ahmed talks to Bablin Molk, the first Muslim Lord Mayor of Cardiff, and the first woman of colour to hold this role.

Dr Bablin Molik holds a PhD in Biology from Cardiff University with a specialism in Glaucoma. Today she is CEO of the charity Sight Cymru and Lord Mayor of Cardiff. She speaks with Azim Ahmed about her her role as Lord Mayor and her work advocating for the blind and partially sighted. 

Bablin moved to Wales from Bangladesh at the age of six and went on to excel in her schooling here. She’s dedicated much of her working life to campaigning for those with impaired sight and in her role as Lord Mayor her nominated charity is UCAN Productions, a performance and creative arts charity supporting children who are blind and partially sighted. 

During the month of Ramadan, Bablin shares the challenges of fasting while being a CEO and Lord Mayor, but also how her resilience and compassion is  rooted in her Muslim faith.
