It’s Friday, and the weekend is just around the corner. That means it is time to kick up your feet and relax with some quick fire questions. This ‘Time Out’ features Asma Maya Joseph-Hussain, CEO at Cynthia Spencer Hospice, who in another life might have been an archaeologist!
What is the first thing you do to get the weekend started?
On a Saturday morning at 5.45am I go for a five-mile walk in my local forest. It’s my time to relax, reconnect with myself and get ready for a weekend full of family fun.
What is your hobby?
Walking, yoga and painting. I do watercolours and pottery painting.
What is your favourite movie?
The classic would have to be The Godfather trilogy, I could watch that on repeat.
If you hadn’t been successful at what you do, what would you be doing instead as a career?
When I was younger, I wanted to be an archaeologist. I don’t know why I didn’t pursue it. I wanted to find new discoveries.
If you could have any superpower, what would it be?
Definitely flying. You could see everything from above and go anywhere.
What is your secret talent?
I’m a really good cook. I love making lots of Asian curries.
What is your favourite genre of music?
I have a very eclectic music taste, depending on my mood. I love funky jazz, Brit Pop, RnB, British Asian music, a real mix.
If you could travel to any moment in time, where would you go?
I’d go back to when my Dad bought a new car when I was a child. It was a big estate car with a massive boot. I have four sisters and one brother, it was a big houseful growing up, and when Dad got the car, we all piled in and went for a drive. It is my best family moment.
