The Importance of Representation
Representation is something that Fatima is deeply passionate about. Growing up, she often felt like she didn't fit in. "I didn't see people who looked like me on TV or in movies," she says. "That's why 'Ms. Marvel' is so important. It's giving young people, especially young Muslims and South Asians, a chance to see themselves."
