Despite the trolling and judgments she faces for her fashion choices, Javed remains unfazed, stating, “The moment you try to change yourself based on those judgments you lose your authenticity, you will never become the person you’ve to become, that the universe has planned for you.” Her unwavering spirit and determination have undoubtedly contributed to her success.
