I am a development professional with experience working for International relief and development agency. I take pride in being a Muslim Feminist and bring a unique perspective from the tribal culture in Pakistan and how modernity has come face to face with Muslim women's religiosity around the world. Through personal experiences and struggles, I have learn to appreciate the power of faith, courage and resilience and proudly share my story with people who want to overcome obstacles to find themselves. I am currently doing my PhD in Applied Anthropology.
