40 Days Of You is an ongoing creative project by Dilshaad, featuring prose and reflective prompts, as well as collage and (more recently) stop motion animation, to express uplifting themes. 40 Days Of You began in the early 10’s as a personal reflective process, and has evolved into a lifelong project that continues to encourage people in South Africa and around the world to take small, consistent steps in pursuing their dreams, 40 days at a time. Dilshaad holds an undergrad degree in Psychology and Communication, with Honours in Philosophy; and a Masters degree in Positive Psychology, which focused on the creative expression of adolescents in low-income communities. Her professional background includes writing, counselling and research, as well as marketing and creative strategy. Dilshaad now focuses full-time on 40 Days Of You. You’ll find her in an atelier in Little Mowbray, where she is mostly dreaming, building, and sipping tea. Come say hi on Instagram and begin your 40 days.
