Moreover, her entrepreneurial ventures include Woopie Town, a board game designed to educate players about disability, and Girlythings.pk, a menstrual healthcare startup in Pakistan. Remarkably, she wrote her first book, A Story of Mexico, at the age of 16. Later on, she published her second book, The Perfect Situation.
