Writing allows me to feel alive, to be counting my blessings to share new unknown stories with people. To actively always see new, to allow me to stay open to the world around me. To actively use my senses, to see, to listen, to smell, to touch and taste, to help me write something raw for the screen/stage. To be active, too actively keep striving to make a change, to create happiness and never stop observing and producing work with meaning, to give a voice to people who may never be given a voice.

Humaira hopes to make an impactful change for the unknown universal voices and build on creating more representation on screen.
