Malala began her campaign for education at age 11 when she anonymously blogged for the BBC about life under the Taliban in Pakistan's Swat Valley. Inspired by her father's activism, Malala soon began advocating publicly for girls’ education – attracting international media attention and awards.  At age 15, she was shot by the Taliban for speaking out. Malala recovered in the United Kingdom and continued her fight for girls. In 2013 she founded the Malala Fund with her father, Ziauddin. A year later, Malala received the Nobel Peace Prize in recognition of her efforts to see every girl complete 12 years of free, safe, quality education.  In 2020, Malala graduated from Oxford University with a degree in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics.  Malala is the author of three books: I Am Malala: The Girl Who Stood Up for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban, Malala's Magic Pencil, and We Are Displaced: My Journey and Stories from Refugee Girls Around the World.  In 2021, Malala started a partnership with Apple to create programming for Apple TV+ spanning “dramas, comedies, documentaries, animation, and children's series, and draw on her ability to inspire people around the world.”  About Faiza Mahamud Faiza Mahamud covers Minneapolis for the Star Tribune. Since joining the paper, she has covered education, immigrant communities, city government and neighborhoods. She was previously a reporter and editor at Mshale, the largest African community newspaper in Minnesota.
