PODCAST- Professional Muslim Women

"For the little girl that didn't know a word of English or French, then to graduate in University with both official languages, I felt victorious."  -Rahma Mohamed  Literature has always been a passion of Rahma's.  Having to forego pursuing her college studies in literature to satisfy her immigrant parents' need for security in choosing a career, Rahma found her way back to her passion unexpectedly.  Having never read a children's book herself, Rahma became fascinated with the value and legacy in nurturing and sharing this childhood experience with her own children. As she tried to create this experience with her children, she realized the scarcity of diversity and representation in children's literature.  Because of the lack of diversity in the market for Muslim Children’s Book, she decided to self-publish children’s books to encourage kids to be proud of their uniqueness, spread awareness, and celebrate diversity.
