In an exclusive 100 Women interview with the BBC’s Nomia Iqbal, she reflects on what it means to be the "funny, fat girl", why she went on a "year of health" during the pandemic, and decided to speak openly about her fertility struggles. The BBC 100 Women team has a mission to address the under-representation of women in media.
