MissFit Writes is a Pakistani author based in Dubai. Her work blends memoir, essays, and poetry to explore identity, faith, culture, and the complex experience of belonging between worlds.

Her debut book, I Did Not Survive. I Just Refused To Stop., is a hybrid of essay, poetry and cultural critique — raw, honest, and sometimes very funny — exploring identity, faith, beauty standards, grief, and the courage to remain yourself.

She writes for readers who have ever felt invisible, out of place, or caught between who they are and who the world expects them to be.
The medium version will probably be the one you actually use.
