Ariyah Faruq had a simple, joyful life in Nigeria-family always close, streets buzzing with life, and food full of flavor. But when she moves to England to stay with her aunt for a better future, she quickly realizes that "better" doesn't always mean "easier."
Between struggling with the cold, missing jollof rice, and dealing with people who think Africa is one big village, Ariyah must navigate a new world full of culture shocks, hilarious misunderstandings, and, unfortunately, racism. But she's not one to stay silent. With her quick wit, outspoken nature, and a little bit of sarcasm, she takes on the challenges of being a Black Muslim girl in a foreign land.
With new friends, unexpected foes, and a whole lot of life lessons, Ariyah's journey is one of self-discovery, resilience, and humor. Because no matter where life takes her, she's bringing her Nigerian energy with her.

Come Home, K
Kulthum is going through something. It could be a hormonal shift, another round of her "rebellious teen phase" even though she's now twenty-two, or an identity crisis. Whatever it is, Kulthum has changed. She can feel it, and everyone can see it, but no one can cite a reason for it-including her. When Kulthum comes home from her third unattained university degree, lugging more than suitcases, her parents have had enough. They decide to do what every African parent living in the United Kingdom has once threatened to do. They ship her back home to Nigeria. With a one-way first-class ticket, Kulthum finds herself stranded in the busy city of Lagos, stuck with a family she knows nothing about and surrounded by her culture, which feels completely foreign to her. Her parents hope her year abroad will cause her to have a change of heart...but Kulthum meets a man who might steal it. - - - - First Published September 28th 2024.

THE PATH UNCHOSEN
They chose the path for her, but her heart whispered a different story. Swabrah never wanted to disappoint her parents-but choosing between faith, family, and her own dreams was never easy. Raised in a household of tradition, with a father who's a respected ustadh and a mother rooted in deen and culture, expectations were never light. They wanted her to pursue medicine-for ujra, to serve society. She wanted Business Law. She ended up in Purchasing and Supply Chain Management. Now in a new college, far from the safety of home, with no familiar faces and only her niqab between her and the world, Swabrah battles silent storms: identity, anxiety, and the fear of not being enough. When an unexpected friendship with a bubbly non-Muslim girl begins to bloom, her quiet world starts to shift. Can Swabrah find her voice in a world that never asked what she wanted?Complete
