I don't know if I'd put labels on myself, but I do feel that when women are empowered, they have the power to transform society.

Twitter's a great way to tell people across the world what I care about and, hopefully, motivate them to join me in furthering my causes. It's also a fantastic medium to hear the ideas and opinions of people I might not otherwise get to meet.

I think generally, in life, I try to always ensure that there are periodic moments where I do venture out of my comfort zone, because that's what keeps you alive. That's what keeps you from getting stale.

Extremism is not endemic in my region, nor is anti-Western sentiment. No doubt there is discontent and distrust. That is towards more the American and some Western policies, and not toward the American people.

Well, my husband is supportive of my work, like advocating for dialogue between cultures on YouTube.

Religion and modernity are not necessarily mutually exclusive.

I found that being online has opened a window for me to look into other people's lives... The greatest fear that I have is losing touch.
