Five Exceptional Women Artists Taking Content to New Heights
Women Day is coming up, and what better way to honor the strength and perseverance of women than by honoring their creative expression? One is frequently presented with stuff that is so original or masterfully done that it leaves one feeling completely enthralled. It’s as if a hand reached out from the artwork to grab hold of you and give you just what you need right then.
The following five female content producers are deserving of our admiration as Women Day draws near because of the potency of their narrative, whether it be a balm, a harsh awakening, some tough love, or a captivating performance that leaves you spellbound:
Tamkenat Mansoor

Tamkenat is a strong one-woman army that works as a doctor, influencer, performer, mother, and activist. She may be seen pursuing her aspirations of becoming a television star when she’s not sharing medical information on social media with her incredibly relevant, funny, and approachable skits. Furthermore, Tamkenat has not shied away from using her platforms to the fullest, despite the opposition, from speaking out on contentious and political subjects.
Being one of the only unashamedly loud female artists who hasn’t let critics stop her, her voice is essential to the present content scene. Her medical skits facilitate the translation of important information into regional tongues, facilitating easier access to knowledge that might otherwise be restricted by language obstacles. Her direct approach to topics is also noteworthy, and her social criticism is spot-on every time.
Misha Japanwala
Without taking risks, what would an artist be? Misha has boldly chosen to commemorate the feminine body with all of its flawless flaws as a way to celebrate womanhood. Misha is a highly skilled artist who has created stunning pieces for celebrities like Lupita Nyong’o, Cardi B, and Lizzo. She is also known for her fabrication of customized breastplates and other stylish wearable resin re-creations.
Her art can be interpreted in a variety of ways. However, Misha hopes to combat the sexist and sometimes violent gaze with which women are viewed in South Asian societies by normalizing the female body and its variety. Her work has been recognized with features in Vogue Spain and V Magazine as an homage to freedom, permission, and agency. Additionally, Misha was included in Forbes’ 2021 “30 under 30 Asia” list.

Arooj Aftab
There’s no introducing this incredible talent, but if you don’t know how good this Grammy Award-winning singer is, just listen to her coo. Arooj has a calming voice that has captured the hearts of people all around the world with its peaceful cadence.
The singer-composer decided to become the first-ever Pakistani musician to win a Grammy Award, taking it upon herself to lift her country up on her kind wings and take it to new heights. Arooj’s music embraces you with open arms, regardless of whether you’re trying to heal from a broken heart or just need music to help you feel better.

The movie that first exposed many Karachi residents to Farah’s wealth of ability features the rhythmic breaking of the waves on the shoreline, along with the delicate movement of decorated feet on the sand dancing to the beat of the weather.
The kathak artist, whose work was seen in motion by Bilal Hassan on Instagram, had a long history of impressive accomplishments before the partnership. Experienced as a performer, choreographer, podcast presenter, and “heARTivist,” Farah energizes her audience with mystical dance, exhibiting her power technique that is consistently balanced with elegance, discipline, calculated restraint, and moving narrative.
Shehzil Malik

The incredibly gifted graphic designer has established herself as a well-known figure at the nexus of feminist and creative communities. In terms of social concerns pertaining to women, Shehzil’s work is an astounding canvas on which to position oneself as an artist who concentrates on women’s issues and makes art to magnify or give commentary on the same.
Her influence is so great that over the past several years, she has designed several artwork pieces for the Aurat March, one of the nation’s most prominent feminist groups. Her perspective on society and women’s positionality is a unique combination of perspectives, and her visual art is both incredibly engaging and emotionally charged at times.
We hope you take some time on Women’s Day to honor all the women in your life who have shaped your perspective on the world or who have positively impacted your personal development, as we honor the messages of love, hope, and perseverance shared by these female artists. Although times are always difficult, there are traces of solace and a sense of belonging when one is surrounded by kind ladies.
