In an interview with TIME Magazine she mentioned “I’ve lost my country. And I can’t have that again. There’s nothing to go back to,” she says. But she’s determined to do her part from afar. “I do feel an innate sense of responsibility because I have the capacity to do something,” she says. And she’s inspired by the post-2001 generation of Afghans. “They have grown up in war,” she says. “They’ve just learned to respond to whatever’s brought forth to them in the most resilient ways.”

she posted a picture of herself on X ( formerly known as twitter)  on January 2023 which says :

Me in Kabul, at Bost Restaurant. It was woman-owned (@MaryAkrami), with 100% female staff. This was a few months before the Taliban takeover.

Behind me are images of legendary Afghan women . We smiled then - excited about the future. Afghan women were unstoppable.

Still are. 

Recently she retweeted the same post and mentioned; Afghan women earned the right to vote in 1919, a year before women in the U.S. could. Behind me is Queen Soraya of Afghanistan, who led the charge for women’s suffrage. We come from fierce, powerful women. This is the Afghanistan I want the world to know. It’s what we fight for.

At the end of this tweet she added  ; And even more humbling.. Queen Soraya and I were both in @TIME. One century apart.
