Maymuna Stories

An epic love story in English and Hausa

I am a muslim, but not really. I don't wear the hijab, I don't listen to anyone, I talk back to my parents, I hang out with guys. I've done some pretty messed up stuff. I don't want to be that kind of person anymore. I want to be better, stronger, kinder. Not just by appearance, but by heart. I want to be muslim, but for real this time. I want to live.
