2. I pu issues, for instance on the need for a response to the COVID-19 pandemic and advocating for women’s leadership. I blog and write as much as I can – to help spread the message. And, I’m working on a memoir – to be released once I find a publisher!

~Describe something our readers today can look forward to discovering in your book, Freedom on the Frontlines: Afghan Women and the Fallacy of Liberation:
This book helps us all understand ‘what happened’ with Afghan women over the last 20 years, reminding us that women, politics, and the state have always been intertwined in Afghanistan, and conflicts have been fueled by attempts to challenge or change women’s status. Since the country fell to the Taliban once more in late 2021, women’s rights have been stripped away, leaving Afghanistan a humanitarian disaster and a human rights crisis. This book tells the story from the perspective of those who are most important - Afghan women.
Ennobled for Success is a reminder never to let our circumstances and attitudes of others define us. It aims to help readers take a journey within, find themselves, and relate to their “inner being” in an authentic manner to courageously embrace one’s soul and live life to its fullest. Every human interaction is an opportunity for our transformation. Our continued transformation is only hindered by our self-imposed limitations and blind spots. The process of getting ennobled to bring out our noble qualities help us take flight towards our purpose while being anchored to our authentic self.

~Share something you are passionate about:
I am passionate about women’s rights and equality. I cannot believe that we continue to be so far from what is rightfully ours. Right now, no single country has achieved full equality for women. We are 100 years away... I think we need to move faster!
~What are some ways you are helping to bring this forward in the world?
I bring my passion to life in the following 3 ways:
1. I create innovative solutions to global women’s rights challenges through my advisory service, supporting several organizations and companies at a senior level on how to advance women’s rights.
2. I publish on a range of women’s rights issues, for instance on the need for a feminist response to the COVID-19 pandemic and advocating for women’s leadership. I blog and write as much as I can – to help spread the message. And, I’m working on a memoir – to be released once I find a publisher!
