Unpacking

I’m a South Asian woman leading a global organization, a health practitioner, a mother, and an expert at navigating spaces that weren’t exactly designed for me.

Living in Pakistan, which happens to be ranked second worst in the world on the gender index (because apparently, I like a challenge), I’ve spent my life balancing ambition with tradition, power with grace, and boardrooms with coffee breaks.

This space is where I unpack it all, the challenges of leadership, the beauty and baggage of culture, the contradictions of being a woman who wants it all. From family planning to breaking barriers, from embracing power to laughing at the chaos of it all, these musings offer a mix of sharp takes, soft reflections, and the occasional rant about why women still have to justify taking up space.

Am I going to be talking about serious and important topics? Yes. But always with a wink and a nudge. Because if we didn’t laugh on the wild rollercoaster ride, we’d probably scream.
