LONDON – Pakistan’s Momina Mustehsan has made it to the 2017 list of BBC’s 100 inspirational women from around the world.
“This year, the women on the list will be part of the 100 Women Challenge, tackling some of the biggest problems facing women around the world,” the news outlet reported.
Though the 2017 list is yet to be completed, the 25-year-old musician is so far the only Pakistani woman to receive the honour this year.
Currently, BBC has released just the first 60 names which include NASA astronaut Peggy Whitson, Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf and England footballer Steph Houghton. The remaining 40 will be added in the October season.
Amongst the top 60 that have been released, Momina Mustehsan’s picture shines brightly on the BBC website, officially describing her as a musician featuring a quote from her that reads, “The quote that helped me the most with my life was:
It only gets better when you get better. Would you believe I found this in the inside a New York takeaway fortune cookie when I was binge-eating my way through depression? That woke me up.”
