Growing up as a Black Muslim woman

How does it feel to grow up as a Black Muslim woman in France?

Fatima Adamou provides us with some answers in this autobiographical account set in the 1980s and 1990s.

Her story narrates the straightforward tale of how she studied her religion, Islam, and how she discovered the diversity of Muslims when she was a teenager, all the while facing challenges because of her skin colour.

Anyone interested in learning about French Muslims and their various legacies should read her narrative.

Born in France, Fatima Adamou has written fiction and non-fiction books for both adults and children.

Her keen interest in her religion first led her to frequently share her opinion on topics regarding Muslim communities on a French Muslim news website. Driven by her passion, she then started blog writing on books and matters related to Islam and Muslims.

Before she became a writer, Fatima Adamou worked as a teacher and in the interfaith sector. She lived in England for several years.
