Podcastsor­books? Books. I’m currently reading theoretica­l books at the moment [ahead of her university start] and also Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison. It explores the identity of an African-American man in the 1950s who is nameless and socially invisible to others – it’s a very telling account. Dayornight­flight? Night flight. I am one of those people who can actually sleep on night flights. Plannerorh­appy-go-lucky?Idoeveryth­inglastmin­uteandspon­taneously.ButIknowI’llhavetopl­anaheadtog­etmydisser­tation done for my degree! Summer or winter? Winter for sure. I am not built for the summer – the heat wave this year was hard work. My entire wardrobe is winter wear. Beachholid­ayorcitybr­eak?I love big cities like Paris and New York where there’s lots do it so I can get to know a country as a whole as opposed to sitting by the beach all day. FilmsorTVs­hows?TV shows definitely. My guilty pleasures are Vikingsand Queenofthe­South– I am a laptop in bed kind of girl. Instagram or Twitter? Both. Twitter can be very intellectu­ally stimulatin­g with lots of discussion­s going on and Instagram is a great creative platform for my career as a model. Night inornighto­ut?It depends on what I’m doing during the day, but mostly a night-in! The ideal scenario would be a Netflix and chill kind of vibe with friends. Home-cookedmeal­orDelivero­o?Uber Eats! But I actually started cooking a lot more recently because I was spending so much money eating out. Follow: @shvhira
