Three books authored by her have already been published, and she has been honored by several prestigious institutions. She has performed story readings, poetry recitations, and lectures on multiple platforms, including Asia’s largest literature festival.

“The disciple reached literary heights,
Embraced writing in Mayad words bright.
Blessings for flourishing creative flight,
May your name soon shine worldwide.”
