Hijab Butch Blues by Lamya H

emotional reflective fast-paced

5.0

a+ memoir, one of my favorites of the year. i wasn't 100% sure what to expect going in, but i really appreciated the interleaving of Islamic texts and stories with Lamya's own life stories. as someone who grew up christian, the stories felt familiar, but with a different perspective or twist. her experience as a queer asian american immigrant moving to an arabic speaking country with her family, then later to the US were powerful and i enjoyed hearing about how she made and created community for herself so intentionally. we should all "friend-chase" more. 

audio narrator did a great job!
