She wants to help victims of human trafficking though the use of visual arts, music, and poetry.&nbsp; Having an eye for art and poetry, Tatjana collected and retyped all the lost works of Morsidy Husin, and designed this book of poetry &mdash; which Morsidy considers as his &ldquo;Humble Rubaiyyat.&rdquo;</p>
