A nomad of cultures, born in Hong Kong, rooted in Turkish-Pakistani heritage, and residing in Kuala Lumpur, Fatima’s love for narratives - both in reading and creating them - gave way to why she does she does today. With a communications and journalism background, Fatima learned to use words as tools for activism. Their stories resonate in five languages and transcend borders, embracing the universality of diverse lived experiences from the refugee and asylum seeker community in Hong Kong to the queer community in Malaysia. Fatima is currently the Forum Communications Lead at AWID.
