She was a survivor of multiple forms of systematic abuse throughout her childhood, and eventually sought out a marriage with the hope that this would provide the change that she needed in her life, but found this to be untrue. Shaheen eventually moved to Karachi with her daughter, and embraced, though she had know for a while, that she was queer. With the quality of her education either being stunted or lacking in quality, Shaheen took it upon herself to educate herself in various ways, and is now a Rapper, Mouth Harpist, Content Creator and Poet. She hopes that by sharing her stories of trauma, she can help others to know they are not alone and seek the support they need. Shaheen also hopes to break these cycles of abuse that are ignored and perpetuated in many societies and communities.Listen to this short excerpt of Shaheen talking about the importance of sexual education in all societies, and how it needs to begin in the home, and how she is doing that with her own daughter.
