Schizophrenia and Multiculturalism

“Dear Moeze,

The Queen wishes me to write and thank you for the poem which you have sent for Her Majesty to see.

The Queen thought it was kind of you to send her this and much appreciated your message of good wishes.

Yours sincerely,

About the Author

My name is Moeze Lalji. I was born in Uganda in 1958 and came to England as a refugee in 1972.

I have been a paperboy, worked for a chain of chartered accountants, then a bank , then I had a post office business and worked for a property company, after that I had my breakdown and I suffer from schizophrenia. I come from a background of mental health.

I am married with one daughter and my wife is our strength. I belong to the Ismaili community and it is our faith in the Aga Khan I think that is keeping me alive and the obvious support from the mental health team.
