She has authored ‘An Unholy Godliness: Reflections on Man‘, and edited ‘The Embattled Innocence‘ by Suleman Ahmer, a must-read collection of stories of a Muslim relief worker in Bosnia. Her work has appeared in The Daily Dawn and News International, Pakistan’s leading news dailies. In the US, her Op-eds have appeared in all seven editions of the Alameda County Newspaper Group and the Contra Costa Times in the San Francisco Bay Area. She has also been published in other magazines and newspapers such as Pakistan Link, Choronogram, Iqra, etc.
