Malala Yusafzai has been an outspoken advocate in the fight for every girl's right to an education.

It was nearly 13 years ago when Malala, who was just 15 years old at the time, was shot by a member of the Taliban

while on her way home from school.

In the years since,

she's continued her advocacy work

through the nonprofit she co-founded with her father,

the Malala Fund.

Her work has earned her the Nobel Peace Prize

and made her the youngest Nobel laureate in history.

But away from the cameras and crowd, she spent years struggling to find her place in an unfamiliar

world.

Now, in her deeply personal new memoir, Finding My Way, she's telling her own story, not just as an

activist, but as a young woman coming into her own.

Finding My Way is a story of friendship and first love, of anxiety, and self-discovery, of trying to stay true to yourself when everyone wants to tell you who you are.

Through candid, often messy moments, like merely failing exams and getting ghosted, Malala reminds us that the real role models aren't perfect.

They're human. I sat down with Malala,

who opens up about her college experience at Oxford,

her struggles with mental health,

and meeting the love of her life.
