She is the Co-Founder and the Global President of Project Girls4Girls. Project Girls4Girls is a Harvard Kennedy School born program by a group of postgraduate female leaders, from all across the globe, including Ms Izzana,  as they realised that women globally are being held back from attaining their full potential in leadership. Together they strived to bridge this gap through Project Girls4Girls.  As many of us are young women progressing further into our futures, having leadership skills can help us in our careers and even in our daily lives. It is crucial that every girl is empowered with great role models to follow in their footsteps.
