Fatima says she decided to write the show to offer a more nuanced view of the Pakistani-American experience in the US, and because she was frustrated by being told she wasn't "trashy enough" to portray the roles typically offered to South Asian Muslim actresses.
Fatima anasema aliamua kuandika kipindi hicho kutoa muonekano ulio tofauti zaidi wa uzoefu wa Kipakistani na ki-Amena Marekani, na kwa sababu alikuwa amefadhaishwa na kuambiwa kwamba "hakuwa na maana ya kutosha" kuonyesha madaraka yanayotolewa kwa waigizaji Waislamu wa Asia Kusini.
