Award-Winning Screenwriter




Passion Driven Leadership: Vol V
"This book felt like having a deep, empowering conversation with a wise mentor who’s been through it all and wants to see you win. What I love most is how it blends history, personal stories, and practical advice into something that feels both motivational and actionable. It doesn’t shy away from pointing out the struggles women still face — bias, stereotypes, inequality — but instead of sounding heavy, it comes across as hopeful and energizing.
The parts about women during WWII, the shift in leadership styles, and the ‘silent gender war’ really made me stop and think. And the advice on education, finances, and self-leadership felt like golden nuggets I can carry with me. This isn’t just a book about women’s empowerment — it’s about human empowerment. It left me inspired to lead, to take chances, and to think about the legacy I want to leave behind. If you’re looking for something uplifting, practical, and straight from the heart, this book will definitely resonate with you." – Book review by Fareeha Malik
