In 2021, Zulaikha published her debut book,* My Coily Crowny Hair*, which is helping girls to learn to love their natural hair and themselves. She was a laureate of the 2022 Young Activists Summit in Geneva, Switzerland, which showcases young people who work for an inclusive and equal world. Besides now studying for an undergraduate LLB degree at the University of South Africa, Zulaikha started a non-profit organisation called Dare to Change, to inspire "the youth to change the world around them. The non-profit is focused on three pillars: education, activism and literacy, with the latter the hope of setting up library corners at under-resourced schools in rural areas and townships.
