My debut memoir, #allmywildmothers, is 1 tomorrow & taking a turn in its new red gown. So on this stormy eve, a celebration & large thank-you to all the readers & champions who’ve taken this story to their hearts & shared it. It means more than you may know 🙏🌸🩷 #memoir
I want to do justice to the younger version of me who needs this book. I also want to, and need to, acknowledge the pain that – it seems – doesn't go away. Even when you think it might have left.
I'm so so so grateful, so lucky, for the chance. ❤️
A pivotal thread in this book is about navigating world and body in the wake of 9/11 as a young Muslim girl.
I find myself now reflecting on this, on these essays, in an ultimately shifted, important, way. Resolution, peace, harmony, acceptance – all these changed meanings.
Overwhelmed right now with so many things. But this news 🙏🏽
Thank you to the @NanPrize judges for believing in this work, to everyone at @canongatebooks, to the longlisted writers – many of whom have become friends, to @PortyLiterary for the guidance
I truly love my community.
