SiyamaM
Hello everyone!
I made a promise on my Instagram story a few weeks ago that I was going to make a confession when I completed writing BTY and alhamdulillah I completed it.
So I'm here to make my confession.
I have loved writing ever since I can remember but as I grew I began developing a fear of being judged by other people.
I would write but I would be too ashamed to share my writing with others— I would restrict it to only a close knit circle. These people encouraged me to keep writing and share my work to a larger audience and honestly that scared me.
So after much thought, I came up with a pen name— one that would help me put my book out there but also one that would protect my actual identity.
After battling with my fears for so long, I've finally decided to come out of my shell and let the world know me for who I truly am.
The writer you know as Siyama Muhammad is actually Hannat Sabiku, or simply call me Hannah.
There you have it, my little confession.
I will be changing my name across all platforms to Hannat Sabiku and my subsequent books will all carry this name.
Thank you for your support and may Allah bless.
