She performs slam poetry now. Arya has shared the first poem  she has written:

Title: Until Someone Tells You

I am fed up. I am fed up by the heat of the heater, the hurts by the hammer and cuts by the cutter, I fell, I stood. I fell, unhappy, I fell, distressed. But once I saw the mirror and seeing myself develop as a diamond, I stood up. I stood up but this time with a smile because this time I knew my beauty and my power were unbreakable and unbeatable!
