Momina Mustehsan Brings the Crucial Topic of Climate Change to Light as She Shines at Times Square NYC for EQUAL Pakistan

Accredited with delivering back-to-back chart toppers but more importantly hailed as an inspiration to female musicians in Pakistan, Momina Mustehsan is the latest EQUAL Pakistan Ambassador lighting up Spotify’s digital billboard at Times Square, New York City.
