My short story collection The Story of Us is now on sale in interKontinental which has been described as “the agency for African literature in German-speaking countries. They represent and promote writers from the continent and the diaspora”. They also run the annual African Book Festival Berlin. Very exciting!
It was a great honour to a panellist in Accenture’s Black History Month that was closed to the public. So many important subjects touched upon in Black Muslim Identity.
Very excited to attend my first event in Glasgow for their Black History Month programme on Saturday 5th October 11am onwards. It’s a free event so do join us if you are around! For more events that I’m doing during BHM UK, do check out my upcoming events page.
The programme of Somali Week Festival, of which I am Director, is now up! Full link can be found here.

I wrote an article for TRT World on the ongoing case of 12 year old Shukri Abdi in Bury who was found drowned in a local river. Full article can be read here.
Great fun headlining in Africa Writes Bristol and doing two panels about writing and the importance of language/translation.
