Fatima

"Together, my two brothers, Bayram and Morat, my father, Hassan and me run our shop, Altun," explains Fatima. We are open every day from 7 in the morning to 11 at night and we all work ten-hour shifts. We have been here three years. I love our customers and I am always happy." Above the counter is a ‘Masallah’ – which looks like a large eye and gives protection for the shop. Fatima moved to the UK eight years ago from Gaziantep, Turkey's sixth biggest city and one of the oldest continually inhabited cities in the world.
