S3 Ep #03: Asmaa Hussein : Channeling words to process grief and kindle hope
Author Asmaa Hussein is a very popular writer. When a tragedy unceremoniously killed her husband, Asmaa took to writing to channel her grief. Her raw and candid essays were shared thousands of times the world over, turning her towards writing full time. She is now the owner of the indie publishing house ‘Ruqaya's Bookshelf’, advocating for authentic representation of story-telling around Muslim children.
Asmaa talks about processing grief, about why people insist on her ‘getting over it’ and how mental health is so important in these conversations. Asmaa also speaks of how her faith kept her afloat, of being a single mother and what she thinks about people sharing pirated and unlicensed copies of her books. Tune in to know more!
