Travel well, my friend Zubeida

SINCE the news of Zubeida Mustafa’s passing, a flood of tributes has poured in, in which those whose lives she touched have spoken eloquently about the iconic, towering figure of the incredible journalist and rights advocate.

To me, Zubeida was my senior, my colleague and my friend, and an incredible woman and human being. She brushed aside daunting personal and professional challenges to power ahead with everything that mattered to her and nothing mattered to her more than the education of Pakistanis.
