[1][2][3] Prior to her voice acting career, Fazal, who is Arab-American and of Pakistani descent, was known for her irreverent comedy often poking fun at Muslim identity.
"[7][8] She created the show's character, Zed Headscarf, as "her tougher, bolder, prouder side" partly in response to post-9/11 Islamaphobia she encountered.
On her return to the U.S., she translated and staged Takarazuka Revue's The Rose of Versailles at Wellesley College where she was a student.
During the development of Young Justice: Outsiders, co-creator Greg Weisman wrote the role for Halo with Fazal in mind; she would also play about a dozen other characters featured on the show.
[16] Fazal is a passionate supporter of Paani Project, a nonprofit that works with community partners and institutions in the United States and Pakistan to help alleviate clean water inaccessibility, advocate for gender equity, and address a variety of pressing health disparities in rural South Asian communities.
