IBD community lost a giant & I lost a colleague, mentor, & friend. Dr Brian Feagan’s impact was one of the most significant contributors to IBD science & will shape the field for generations. I learned from him about conducting rigorous clinical trials I’ll miss him🙏🏼 May his memory be a blessing💜

I’m honored to be appointed Secretary General of @worldgastroorg.bsky.social I aim to: ✨Strengthen, expand, & build 🌎collabs with education & mentorship Serving as a global leader is a privilege. Together, we advance GI care, knowledge, & equity in digestive health #SheLeadsHealthcare #LetHerLearn
I am deeply honored to be nominated and appointed as the Secretary General of the World Gastroenterology Organisation (WGO).

As an Afghan immigrant who was given the gift of education and opportunity, I carry this role with profound gratitude and responsibility. Afghan girls and women have the right to education—it is a fundamental human right. I take this role to serve as a beacon of hope and an example of what is possible when that right is honored. #LetHerLearn

My passion for the global GI community is unwavering. I aim to:
• Strengthen global collaborations
• Expand education and mentorship programs
• Build sustainable partnerships to advance
    gastroenterology and empower the next
    generation of leaders

To serve as a global leader is a privilege I do not take lightly. Together, we can advance care, knowledge, and equity in digestive health around the world.

*Memo* After much reflection, I have made the difficult decision to resign from my role as President & Board Director of @IBDHorizons. As a Co-Founder, I remain proud of what we’ve built over the years. Unfortunately, the organization’s current direction no longer aligns with my values or vision. I remain deeply committed to advancing education, equity, and innovation in IBD and look forward to continuing that work through new and aligned platforms. With appreciation to all who have supported this journey🤲
