The Emirates called for strengthening the international humanitarian response and providing urgent relief to those in need
The biggest barrier is self-doubt. When you fall prey to it, nobody can save you. And if you believe in yourself then nothing can stop you.
Creative expression needs a lot of courage. To me art is a beautiful escape. As we all need that one medium to express ourselves without saying much, I chose art because I could paint my thoughts without describing them in words. Some people write, some make melodies. So, if you want to find yourself, create.
A little more kindness and a little less judgement is all we need to change this mindset. And to those who are differently abled, it's my request to you all: Step out and face the world. It won't be easy but it surely will chalk out ways for those who are afraid to do it!
Everyday I wake up and say Alhumdolillah. That's my daily mantra.
I call them "Blessings in Disguise". People, opportunities and plans that are not meant for you won't stay. So, don't cling onto them, let them go and make some room for bigger blessings because what's meant to be, will find its way to you and will stay!
Be grateful! When we start to appreciate what we have, big or small, instead of crying for what we've lost, our lives become so much better. We become happier, kinder and more humane. Be a giver! Believe in the power of sharing because the more you give, the more you receive. You want to be happy, make someone smile. You think you are in pain, help someone who's in pain and you'll forget yours. Last but not least, be human!
My mother. She's my hero, my strength. The one who believed in me when I was at the verge of despair, who kept reminding me of this most powerful truth at every step: "This too shall pass because nothing lasts forever!" As a speaker I've always looked up to my mentor Sarmad Tariq. He is not in this world anymore but his words still echo in my head. "I'm glad to know that you want to follow me but I'd say don't! Because if you will follow me you won't be the first one to reach the destination. So, choose your own way and be your own hero!"
No matter who we are or whatever part of the world we belong to, I feel we women are all connected. Our struggle to live our lives to the fullest, our fight to get our basic rights and our passion to dream big connects us all. So, I paint myself, I paint all the women who are trying to overcome their fears and those who are striving to achieve their goals all around the globe.
I'm one of the biggest admirers of Sir Saeed Akhtar. To me his work is unprecedented. I love Thomas Fedro's work specially for its vibrant colours. Last but not least the artist that I connect the most with is Frida Kahlo. She once said 'Feet, what do I need you for when I have wings to fly?' Nothing sounds more relatable (to me) than this.
