On top of that, she conducts research on the media representation of Muslim women, having presented one of her research projects at the American University of Cairo and continuing her research through her internship at the Harvard Kennedy School. She is also a member of the Youth Activism Project (@youactproject) and a podcaster and co-founder of the series Untextbooked (@untextbooked). She has been featured in The National UAE, MarieClaire Arabia, Egyptian Streets, Daily News Egypt, Black and White Magazine, and a number of other publications. If that wasn’t enough, she competes nationally with her high school’s debate team, is part of the varsity squash team, and plays the harp. And she's only 17!
