After introducing herself and her sister, Shaheen, Alia went on to say, "It's safe to say that we're going through trying times right now and we're not gonna lie even we're scared, we wake every morning feeling confused about the future and feeling fearful about the unknown, still feeling hopeful that things will get better." Shaheen then joins in to say, "And I think it's really important for those in a more fortunate position to absolutely do whatever they can and help in whichever way they can." Alia then weighed in, "Like us! Today we have come together to show solidarity and say a big big big thank you to all of you out there, who are really putting their lives in danger for us. Thank you so much, doctors, nurses, policemen, delivery people, you name it, I mean we don't know what we would've done without you so thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts."
