Lamiya shares her concern regularly through journalism on global matters that include climate change arising from irresponsible management of natural resource, "...we’re consuming water faster than nature can replenish it."; and the disproportionate spread of wealth and unevenly distributed education setup, "...a general trend towards marked increases in tuition in recent years, even in countries where tuition fees have generally been much lower...", show her deep passion to change the much needed things around. She has done a public service PowerPoint presentation on national patriotism and interviewed Mr. K. Mohanan Nair, Managing Director of Smrithi Ayurcar Ltd., Calicut, on the business challenges and evolution around Calicut over the years. Some of Lamiya's works include as a script and screenplay writer and director 'Nashtapeta Kanuneer', 'Vengeance Demon', documentary on 'Tellicherry Fort' and screenplay & dialogues for Biodata, a short film which has over 1.6 lakhs views in YouTube.
