Fariya Naseem: Perseverance pays

Abstract

Inspired by Max Adam’s original work, Unquiet Women, through this series Dr Hafsa Ahmed aims to share narratives of remarkable women who immigrated to New Zealand. These stories are rarely told, but each one is unique. Hafsa hopes these stories will bring Asia closer to New Zealand by enabling us to see through the eyes of others and nurturing connections. In the second piece from the Unquiet Women series, she shares teacher Fariya Naseem’s story.
