It wasn't until senior year of high school that @lamyaisangry read a book with protagonists of color. Read a message from the author of HIJAB BUTCH BLUES on discovering oneself as a college student through literature, from WHITE TEETH to the Quran: https://t.co/3RktnnEBLw

Some news! Hijab Butch Blues is long listed for the #BKLYNBookPrize - what an honor to be on this list with so many fave writers/thinkers/mentors! 💙

[NPR's Code Switch @NPRCodeSwitch]

There are race books, and there are beach reads, and on this ep, we strove to find the overlap in that Venn diagram (with varying degrees of success 😂)

Listen, and in the replies let us know what your favorite identity + beach reads are this summer 👇🏾

Eid Mubarak, loves! The story of this Eid has always left me confused and angry, so I rewrote it from the perspective of Hajar. Here’s an excerpt - read my book HIJAB BUTCH BLUES for more. 🌙✨🕌

I get a lot of negative comments about the concepts in my book so please allow me this unhumble brag: @byshondaland called Hijab Butch Blues a “modern classic” and I am so so so thrilled!!
