Hijab Butch Blues by Lamya H

APPLE | GOOGLE | SPOTIFY | AMAZON

In Hijab Butch Blues, we see Lamya navigate their identity and life between their religion and culture and how she compares their experiences with some of the most famous stories in the Quran.

Today on the couch, I’m pleased to welcome author Lamya H.  We talk about religion being a way to live more intentionally, social justice, Lamya’s choice to write under a pseudonym, and using a silhouette for their author photo.  Lamya also gives us book and bookstore recommendations, reading tips, plus lots more.
