Mahomed is currently a medical school at the University of Toronto in Canada. She discusses her mixed identity as a half-Pakistani, half-Canadian – and the opportunities and challenges of belonging to two vastly different cultures. “Trying to figure out who I am as a person and understand my identity has been difficult. You know trying to combine being mixed, with being Muslim, with being female has been hard. I don’t really feel like all of these labels or categories fit with who I am all the time.”
