Aleezeh Fatimah
Aleezeh Fatimah is a Karachi-based journalist covering gender, climate, displacement, and migration. A pharmacist by degree and a storyteller by passion, she believes writing is her truest form of communication. As a child, she filled the walls of her home with haikus, prompting her parents to give her a dedicated writing space. Her poetry, shaped by personal experiences, carries deep emotions wrapped in hope, always seeking to resonate with others. When she’s not reporting or writing, she can be found enjoying a good book, advocating for mental health and human rights, often while wearing jhumkas because activism deserves a little glam. A firm believer that daal chawal reigns supreme over biryani, she is always up for conversations over a roasted hazelnut latte.
