So, was this story actually good? Syed Ommer, founder of the literary startup called ‘Dastaan’ acknowledged her work. Now, Hareem is working on publishing her poetry collection entitled as ‘Saving the Soul’. She also encouraged the youth to run their own startup businesses.
Her hard work is directed towards a beautiful purpose which is to break the stereotypical image printed on the minds of the majority of the Pakistanis that ‘mental disorders are a weakness and a taboo’.
“They certainly are not.”, She said. “We are what we choose to be.”
