- Comment: There are currently no sources that indicate notability (see this guideline). Google searches, Instagram, and Wikipedia can't be used as sources; her own publications, her organization's website, and Youtube films created by her are self-published sources which can only be used in very limited circumstances; the British Council source doesn't mention her. bonadea contributions talk 16:19, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
