"I know what it's like to have the narrative of our community be skewed and exploited.
"I know first-hand that once people are re-empowered, they realise their own story is powerful and they begin to share. It's incredibly rewarding and can even help enlighten or save others."

"It empowers me... It helps me do what I want to do."

When asked what she would like to tell Playboy readers, Noor said: "Live your life as your truest self and encourage others to do the same.
"Support each other. We have to live for the 10,000 who have come before us, who have made it easier for us to get to where we are today, but also for the 10,000 coming after us, so we can continue to break barriers and glass ceilings and reclaim our power."
