I am a 51 year old British, female Muslim offering talks on Islam. You can leave the topic up to me or choose something specific. I can provide talks from the very basics - What makes a believer? to more detailed talks such as the rights of women in Islam and concepts such as white privilege.
I live in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, having moved across from Lancashire 25 years ago. I have two grown up children - they'll always be children! - and have been married for 25 years so far... I am a very recently retired teacher and a published author of four books. I also enjoy writing poetry and have had some of my poems published. My faith is my passion and it dictates how I live my life, as well as heavily influencing the way I treat others. It is a faith of peace and positive human interaction and this is what I would like to promote in my talks. Islam has never had a good look, and this was further misconstrued after 9/11. My intention is to dispel misconceptions and educate, as well as inspire.
