Portfolio
We write because silence is not enough. The act of putting words to page is a refusal to let our thoughts vanish unspoken, a way of preserving the fleeting sparks of imagination before they fade. Writing is not only about stories or characters—it is about shaping meaning, about leaving behind evidence that we were here, that we thought, that we dreamed.
Memoir
My memoir writing is a mixture of lived experience and the meaning I want my work to carry. These pieces splice together moments of faith, motherhood, and transformation with reflections on identity and resilience. They are not only personal stories but also explorations of how narrative can preserve erased voices and illuminate the emotional architecture of everyday life.
Fiction
My fiction dares to travel beyond traditional genre boundaries. From impossible Shire‑like landscapes to space voyages, from the grave to galaxies unknown, these stories weave together the multifaceted interests that shaped me as a reader. At the heart of every fantasy, sci‑fi, and speculative tale is my identity as a Muslim, grounding imaginative worlds in values of faith, community, and human connection. My fiction is both adventurous and deeply personal, expanding genre while carrying the imprint of who I am.
Other Works
Beyond memoir and fiction, my portfolio includes essays, deep studies of my favorite authors, undergraduate research, scriptwriting, and experimental zine projects. These works showcase my range as both a creative and critical thinker, blending literary analysis with imaginative risk. Together, they reflect my commitment to exploring language across forms—whether through academic rigor, collaborative critique, or playful experimentation.
