will be a woman you become along the way. So Tina, salaam alaikum.
Welcome. Welcome Aslan. Glad to be here. And Hamdulillah.
Okay, so if I go, everyone, thank you for joining us today.
I am a little bit nervous, I'm going to put that out there. If I
can do this little thing I do with my hands. I mean, I'm, I'm a
little nervous here. But that's the right part about this title
about the world and becoming along the way is is harnessing all that
energy, and still pushing forward.
So I'd like everyone to do is to take a deep breath in with me.
And let's just release all the morning talk in our head, like
when it's morning here in Michigan. So I have a lot of
things on my head. And I just like to clear it out. So I can focus.
And I'd like you to focus on who you are as a woman.
Now, Naima mentioned that I'm a writer, and I'm a poet, author,
100 law. But I also happen to be a daughter,
a sister, a wife, a mother, and Alhamdulillah, for all the roles
that I play. But I am a person as well. And I have a story. I have a
life that I've lived experiences that I've went through, and the
unique to my own.
A lot of us go through life facing challenges. And it becomes like,
I'm the only one. I'm the only one facing this. And I'm the only one
who is suffering through this. But what we don't realize is that
there's a story that's being written. And like any story,
and most stories that we read, there's always the hero in that
story.
The hero doesn't know that they're a hero, what they're doing is
they're simply going through life experiences. And just wanting to
get to the other side, wanting to attain something. Sometimes the
hero is wanting to meet someone, sometimes a hero is trying to get
to a better place a new place, to be a better version of himself, to
be about to meet a better version of something else.
The hero rarely knows that they are the hero.
But what makes them the hero is that they keep pushing forward.
They keep moving forward. And the beauty of this life is that Allah
subhanaw taala has made us all heroes of our own stories.
We are not realizing that amidst the fear amidst the amidst all the
things that happen to us. We have the courage to move forward. We
have the power, the strength that we are born with, to keep going.
But we get stuck. We get stuck in our heads we get stuck in our
thoughts that I'm not good enough. I'm not bold enough. I'm not that
enough.
Funny thing is, we were born to be enough.
It's just a we're going through life in search of it. And perhaps
even looking for it in people's eyes to people's words by someone
telling us, validating us and saying us to us that we are enough
that we are a hero.
The woman you become along the way is recognizing that you are
already her.
So I'm going to share a little bit of like a story. So
I'll hear my talk today is a little bit different than the ones
I've done before. I haven't written it all out, it's not typed
up in new pages. It's I'm kind of going with the feel of, of, of my
heart because this title for me, the woman you become along the
way.
It was a heavy one.
I've said it many times, I've heard it so many times from
Neymar. But it's so heavy with me. And it's that heavy with me
because it felt like it felt like a journey. And I can't tell you
about a journey with looking from a paper, I have to feel to it. And
so I'd like you to feel through it with me.
I was 12 years old, when I realized, perhaps even before but
12 was my age that I could articulate, that I wanted to be a
writer, an author, a poet. I wanted it so bad. And I would say
I'm going to be a writer one day, I'm going to be an author. One
day, I'm going to be a poet.
But that 12 year old version of me was saying when I grow up, what
she didn't realize she was always a poet. Because the words just
flowed from her. Allah made it so
she was always a writer, because she wrote wonderful stories, and
they were funny, and they were elaborate and they were poetic.
She loved writing cards that made her a writer. She loved drawing
pictures that weren't the best, but had stories and words to it.
And that showed how artistic she was. She went through life
thinking when I grow up, I'm going to be a writer and author.
How many of us go through our lives, thinking that we are going
to be someone not realizing that we are.
Let's journey back. Let's journey forward to 2019 in autumn when one
day I suddenly thought I wonder how many new copywriters are out
there how many new Fabi authors are out there women who are
covered their face, wear hijab, Muslim women were writing and
making and and you know making the lists doing well as women who
decide to cover themselves and yet be public about their writing. And
the name Nyima be Robert came to me like instantly,
it was almost like a divine whisper into my ear to go in this
direction.
I quickly got onto my computer. I tapped it typed up her name, went
to her Facebook page.
And like destiny often writes itself. There was a webinar or
masterclass that she was offering was called Be the hero.
That was was a little strange. I was again a little bit. What does
that mean be the hero. I didn't even know how to be the woman I
was, but I will get to that later.
So be the hero. Interesting. I was into that phase of my life. Now I
turned 40. And I wanted to do something with my life. I wanted
to move forward, I wanted to not be stuck in the mental health
issue state that I was that had enveloped me for so long.
Depression, anxiety, postpartum depression, all those things that
were weighing me down. After I turned 40, I thought to myself,
there has got to be more. There's this burning in me to do something
to be something to write something.
And I don't know if I'm good enough. I don't know if I have it
in me. But the words be the hero.
It was it was it was just so beautifully put three little three
words, and it spoke volumes for me. So sure enough, I signed up
for that webinar.
And she went through the words and she was speaking and she spoke
about everything and everything she spoke I remember it was like
arrows to my heart, one after the other after the other after the
other penetrating my heart and my soul with these, with these
thoughts of dreams about a boat about getting the story out about
accepting and embracing imperfections about reclaiming
your voice reclaiming your space in the world. And I thought
is this sister really making me dream?
I have been raising six children for the past at that point. For
the past 1516 years. Was I really at a place at that point in my
life where
I could be a hero because I thought heroes are these
courageous brave women who stand confidently and stand up to the
world and say this is who I am. But not me. Not a woman who has
was just a few years after the birth of her sixth child riddled
with so much anxiety that she she could literally hear screams in
the back of her head who would not know how to make a decision
between eating this or that. A woman who would not step outside
the house because she was afraid of what people think about her
when people would say about her
and how she would be so she just hid. I hid I hid for years,
perhaps even decades.
Could I really be a hero? I mean, I want to be.
And there she was telling me that I could be.
Sure enough, she was offering me to be the hero program.
And I signed up for it because I felt like, I just couldn't say no,
I just, it was the right step to take. So as often confer on
important decisions, I called up my husband was also my best
friend. And I said to him, I have to do this, I'm gonna sign up for
this program, because it's just what she's saying. Makes sense to
me. So I did.
I did. And in those program, and in the coaching that I've been
with her, she has always said, it's not about that dream that you
want about that degree that you want about the book that you want
to write about being published about, about that story that you
want to tell. It's not about what you want that dream that you're
trying to attain the when you want to reach. It's the journey.
It's the woman you become along the way.
I wonder if that woman was worth meeting,
becoming.
I wasn't sure if I was ever happy with who she was.
But nevertheless,
I want to reach the dream.
The part about her saying the woman you becoming along the way
and kind of I was skeptical about that one.
But Alhamdulillah I trusted her so far, and being with me, my coach,
my mentor, in becoming this hero of my own story.
So I continued with her.
And sure enough, 2020 quarantine came about. And at that time, I
had transferred from our program from being the hero into showing
up
as politically as Allah subhanaw taala has, right, right, our
stories, it was so fitting. So I showed up, I was trying to show up
for my dreams.
In that program, and before between the two of them, there was
a moment and she remember this and we've talked about this anyone who
knows me, who's been following my writing, who's met me through the
programs knows that I talked about this is that one day I found
myself at a coffee shop by my house.
The one I drove past for years. And I thought just one day I want
to go in, sit at the coffee shop like other other people do open up
my laptop and write like writers to I want to be that woman I want
to be able to be careless and carefree and, and not have to go
places or be someone I just wanted to sit at that coffee shop with my
coffee in hand and type my story out.
And so I found myself one day finally finding that courage or
bravery to just do that thing I wanted to do.
I drove up, went inside, I had my laptop with me when inside there
too, with it, opened it up and broke down in tears.
This is what it was feeling like to be a hero.
To claim my story to claim my voice to claim that little bit of
power that I didn't know existed and saying, you get to do it. You
get to be her.
I wrote up a piece out.
I sent it to Naima she she read it. We I shared it on my social
media. I posted it with for my sisters who are with me in the
program.
And I cried again, because they understood how important it was
for me, they understood how much it took for me to let go of my
fear and to show up
in that short program as the 2020 locked down came in.
Again, that sentence the woman you became along, you become along the
way, resided at the back of my mind. And whenever I did trunking
and then I'm thinking you know, I don't know about writing a book.
You know, people say it and some people have mentioned it to me,
you should. I don't know if I have it in me. I don't know if I'm good
enough if anyone will read it. So all those fears came back to me.
But while I was sitting there and getting a little bit more hold in
my life, I remember when the lockdown came in, and I've written
this in my book in breeds about how I stood there and for a minute
I thought do I go back to that place of being in fear all the
time, that place of fear and worry and anxiety and stress and worried
about what's to come the challenges of being in quarantine
and locked down not knowing what's going to happen in the world. We
were all there. We saw the footage of of the drone cameras showing
deserted empty streets of New York City with no one there flashing
flashing lights at the signals. They said green or red that
usually means go or stop but there is nothing to flow.
Images of hospitals have in makeshift tents outside in their
parking lot. So they were they were supposed to be
From morgues and, and freezer trucks lined for miles outside,
and we're watching these images of unfold, people standing in their
balconies in Spain and Italy is singing to each other. So they may
connect and have that human connection. Children being taught
at school that they don't know when the schools will be opened
up. This is my story that when they would open up, coming home
with backpacks filled, asking mom, what's going to happen, and I'm
saying, I don't know, my child breaking down in the back of the
car, not knowing what's gonna happen to the grandmother,
grandfather, because the news at that time was, this thing is
deadly for older people, young people might survive. So with all
that in mind, I thought, No, I don't want to go back to that
negative place. Again, I've come too far. So I decided to start
writing for 30 days straight in my book brief, I started writing
every single day. But it just just a collection of books of writing.
And the name on one of our coaching calls said you are going
to publish that, aren't you? Cuz, you know, you wrote that you have
a book young you published my book, these are just like my
reflections, they're just my poetry, it's like, and I don't
even know if that's good enough, who's gonna want to read it.
And sure enough, she often does, she inspired me to dream a little
bit more.
And then a hero story, you'll see that there's always that person, a
mentor, a coach, like I call it like the the old person who lives
on the top of the hill, who's there for the guidance and the
wisdom and the hero has to track and meet her. And then she kind of
gives these words and you kind of like, feel like you see the light.
And so when she said that I'm like, Oh, here she is, again,
making me dream, making me want something better for myself. Sure
enough, I discussed it with my family, obviously, was going to be
an investment of time and effort and money to go ahead and proceed
with getting this book out.
Here's another woman I was becoming again, imagine myself
months ago, who would not even want to go into a coffee shop to
buy a coffee for herself and sit there and drink was now talking
about investing in an editor in publishing her book that she had
written it has it had nothing else but my words in it. Meaning I was
giving myself the ability to have take a chance on something that
was just me.
But when I went with that fear setting again, the fear of
rejection, the fear of no one wanting to read what I wrote the
fear of not being good enough, the fear of people will know that I'm
not good. I've always known I'm not good. Now, people are gonna
know that they're good. They're gonna buy a book, and they'll be
like, Oh, she sucks.
So all of these fears started piling on. And even though my
editor got back to me and wrote and emailed and let you know, all
the notes, I never opened that email. It was months before I
opened that email.
When I opened that email up, eventually, months later, when my
husband said, Hey, we were going ahead with the story in this book,
and you haven't even done anything with it. What are we doing with
it?
With the conversation we had back and forth, I said, Fine. Finally
open the email, I opened the email, and she wasn't throwing up
on it. She wasn't saying all these negative words. She wasn't saying
that. Not maybe not. She said, Okay, let's go. You know, you have
a little minor edits, as we always do. But you know, we should
proceed with this book. And the fear of success came to me.
Am I good enough? Will I really be good enough? What will I do? Like,
I've never really taken a chance. So when I take a chance and exit
succeed, well, I recognize this woman, because I'm used to being
negative with her. I'm used to thinking she's not good enough.
She never will do anything with her life. And she will just this
is how it's going to be.
But I realized with fear, there is also courage. With rejection.
There's also perseverance
and the fear of being called a phony and all of those things.
Were just me telling myself stay safe. Don't go out there. Don't go
on that journey. You don't know who's going to be there.
Fear setting again, and I didn't take any action.
Couple months passed again, until Nyima and, and my editor hand she
they contacted me and they said you know what's going on? What's
what's going on with your book. I hope you're going with it. I
didn't have me to tell them that I had already given up before I
started.
Sure enough, one or two days after the coaching and named. My husband
asked me and he said, What about that dream of seeing your book,
your name on a book, that thing that you wanted all your life? You
said all I want is to have my name on a book, sitting on someone's
table and knowing that a part of me is going to be out there. What
about that dream you're telling me about it?
So after a lot of encouragement and support from the people around
me who were believing in me, even though I wasn't believing in
myself, I went ahead and I decided to self publish my book.
When I self published this book, it was January 2021, it came out
there, I held it in my hand and said, Oh, my God, this is my book,
this my book, I finally have my book.
I cried tears of joy. But something was missing inside of
me.
I didn't want anyone to know. So because of like, yeah, it's the
happiest thing ever in the world is my dream come true. You know,
I've been waiting for this for 32 years of my life. And finally
here, I finally arrived. And,
but there was still something missing. And I didn't know what it
was, I didn't want to tell anyone, I just what it was, but there was
something missing. Sure enough, the book got into the bestseller
list. And I was showing a lot of people were reacting to it, people
were reaching out to me, and saying that, you know, it touched
them, they felt something connection with that book.
And I didn't know I couldn't believe it. I didn't understand
the success, I didn't understand or believe the words coming out.
What I realized now
is that it wasn't about the book. It wasn't about this published
piece of thing it was because the book gave me the passport, the
visa, to allow me into a territory where I was now on a quest of self
discovery, we have to sometimes give ourselves the permission, we
have to give ourselves the the allowance to proceed away from the
common place that we know. And we are comforted by one name, I like
to call the comfort zone.
What I've learned from from her about the comfort zone, and she
used to say you're at the edge, you're at the edge of that comfort
zone where that fear is coming in where you're like going to that
other side, you're now leaving behind your home. And I imagined
and picture to be like I'm leaving my home with a suitcase. And the
homeless there with my comfortable bed and my blanket and my clothes.
And everything that feels nice and familiar is there. But I'm going
on a journey now.
What I realized when people would contact me or I would can be
contacted for podcast interviews, or the interviews and the reviews.
And the opportunities Alhamdulillah that I've gotten in
the past year
is that I would say oh, it's because they liked the book, and
Alhamdulillah many of them did resonate with the book. And and
until I spoke to many people and their experiences living to the
COVID era.
What was showing up was me, I was the one showing up at those
interviews, I was the one having those discussions, I was the one
who who was in that opportunity to sit up opposite of of great people
and be and be talked to
be spoken with.
I was putting myself out there and my name out there. And I was
showing up
amid the fear amid the rubbing hands amid the sweats. And I don't
want to do this I want to be safe and covered was me showing up
every single time. It was the woman I was becoming along the
way.
And I discovered something I used to think that the woman you become
along the way is the woman that
is on the other side of the success meaning she's not you that
the one who is successful, the one who has published the one who has
written her book was fulfilled a dream, who is living a dream is a
woman who is successful, and the woman I am is not. What I never
realized was that this is the same woman who gets there, but has to
journey to be encompassing all versions of herself.
I didn't realize this part of the journey until I started writing my
memoir, which funny enough was in the same month, as when this book
was released in January 2021.
I sat there at night after night, on my computer, typing out words
it just flowed that just flowed it flew. They were filled and rich
with stories of my past of my my struggles with mental health as a
teenager and as a young mother and then as a woman who was getting to
her midlife. It was filled with stories about me feeling stuck in
a place and learning and discovering more about myself. It
was filled with stories about me accepting my physical state of
with my weight issues and what I didn't like about myself and and
leaning into my faith to accept those versions of myself. And I
just just poured out of me
To the point that I wrote, within one week, I had the first draft of
my book, ready to go 30,000 words. And I was, I thought, Okay, this
is good.
It just flowed from me.
But when I sat with it, and I looked it over, and I realized
that it was just this word vomit, really, that came out of me, there
was something deeper that was hidden inside that I had not
touched yet. And it was ready to immerse it was beyond that surface
level words that were there were being spilled out, there was
something deeper inside.
And that version is when that hero comes to that quest, where to that
next place in the journey, where they're learning something about
themselves, but they didn't know what deep inside, they are now
uncovering, it's like opening up a box, and seeing this version
immersive themself. And in that version, that immersed myself, I
realized that there still are much more stories that are deeper
inside of me than the surface level ones that I had shared so
far. And those deeper stories were the ones where I was the most
vulnerable. They're the ones that talked about my failures. Those
are the ones that talked about not what was happening to me. But what
had I what had happened with me.
And I realized, to get to the next point, I was at the point that I
had to embrace my imperfections.
And I wasn't becoming someone else. I was taking all of that.
And saying, I accepted.
What a writer does, when they write their stories, is the first
thing they write for themselves to get out the story that that's
within them. But then the second part of that journey is writing
the story where someone else reads it and says, that could have been
me. Like that's, that's just like me, or I could have written the
story, I could have told the story.
And that's the part that turns you in from someone who writes into
becoming a writer, because now you are writing with a mission with an
intention. So that what was what was missing with me, my first
version was for myself, that was just a splurge of words that was
out there. The second version that I worked on, that I began to write
again in March
was the story that I wanted to share the experience, I wanted to
share the journey, I wanted to take you the reader with me, as I
am doing right now.
And it was in that place that I realized that I'm not hiding or
running away from my fears. I'm accepting the fact that public
spaces scare me, I'm accepting the fact that this new journey I'm on
where I'm, I might be more visible online, or I'm speaking to
somebody like I did back in December at the Detroit Women's
Leadership Network when I was invited to speak as a keynote
speaker there, that all these places that I'm I'm that I'm going
to and that are scary and that they are okay to be scary. But I'm
going to show up anyways, that is going to be vulnerable, as
anything to put my life experiences in a book, where I'm
going to talk about my relationship with my children and
how I've struggled with that. And I feel that that and I have, I
have had challenges with that, where I discussed that my body
made the weight that I enshrouded myself and shrunk me. But yet, it
was a part of me, I carried it with her I can hate those parts of
myself. They are what brought me to this point today.
And so in doing all those things, I realized that the writing
journey, the publishing journey, being an author, it's not just
about, about having a name printed on a book, it's about all the
parts of you that show up to that interview, or the parts of you
that show up on those social media feeds and lives and all those
things are not even that it's the version of you that shows up in
the book that the reader reads, they connect with you because a
human wrote that book. It's not these words that were just spat
out by a computer, Allah subhanaw taala made us humans and gave us
all these emotions like fear and sadness and anger and love and and
hate and all those words, but he also gave us the means to harness
that and then ride it in the direction that we choose to ride
it. Now, he has advised us to say in showed us that this is the
right way and this is not the right way in where this leads us
and where that leads us. In the same way we are in this quest
because we are not just writers we are Muslim, our writers. That
means we are writing with intention. We are writing with
purpose, that there is something there we believe in
accountability. We believe in the book of deeds as writers. We are
writing this book and this book is what can be our book of deeds. It
shows us that everything has
As an accountability, every word has a weight to it.
And so it wasn't just about writing a book and getting it out
there. It was about writing a book and making that connection. I
remember yesterday at the summit itself, I think I was listening to
Lauren boots live. And she was talking about how, how this the
purpose is intention and how it's that we have another, we have
another goal there, we have a further place to go. And so when
when I sit with this idea of the women I become along the way,
I realize that the way is still far.
The way I became when I was writing this book is a woman I
realized there was worth discovering, that was worth
learning more about. Because with all the things that I have hidden
about myself, where I've shunned away and thought, I'm not supposed
to be like this, I'm supposed to be like that.
That is denying who I am as a person. And that denies me and my
creativity as a writer. So once I get that splurge of words out, and
we get into the depth of the words, is where the real story
begins.
Yes, you may not have the best book. And it may not be the book
that sells the best. I mean, it's your story. It's your words, some
1000s of people have might have written about, about about the
quarantine, 1000s of people might have written about their mental
health issues or their struggle with postpartum depression. But
nobody has said it in your voice. Nobody has said it with your
background with your journey. Nobody has said it like you.
There will be challenges, but nothing in life is free, not even
Jana.
And so the challenge is that you are able to bring yourself to
accept and the ones you are able to face, regardless of what
happens after what happens after it's all written for you anyways,
but the challenge of you showing up shows your willingness to move
forward. And that is what I realized about myself, all those
years that I've I, I stood back. And there was this burning in my
heart to do something better to be something better to show up to be
a hero to do all those wonderful things, was missing, Safe at Home,
and not opening the door to step outside and see the journey that
was waiting for me to have and it was my journey. No one can take it
from me. It belongs to me. It's part of my destiny. It's part of
my quest. But I wasn't willing to take that step.
When we meet as writers, and we support each other, and we listen
to each other, it is important not only to be critical, and and be
honest with each other, but it's also important to realize that we
are we are each together and we're our journeys and our stories are
unique to us and supporting each other in that helps us to grow
better.
And so I'm just gonna finish up here by saying by reading a little
thing that that I had written and I was hoping to share that with
you. I don't know if I kind of went on but I think I did. But
anyhow, that's what happens when you go a little impromptu. So I
just wanted to read something with you if, if, if you allow me to.
And it's this is a poem I written it's called, if you love a memoir.
If you love me, set me free. Let me go on this journey of self
discovery. I promise I love you more than I did before. There's so
much more we have in store. Let me tell you what happened a long time
ago, a woman fell in love and let herself go. She made her love the
world and more she closed herself in and locked the door. She was
fine with that decision. She made loyalty her love and never
betrayed. The love had flourish. They brew avoid a bitterness that
harness that she tried to avoid but there it was simmering on low
even heat. That faint voice whispering What about me? She gave
herself to others year after year, being their shield while drowning
and fierce. She built a fort to bury herself in with walls of fat
held tight with skin but her spirit to bed and let it fall
asleep let a World of Darkness pull her in deep. Her love would
wonder how can a woman be this way? But no care for appearance no
not seeing her for days, but the love was unaware that she was at
war. The Darkness she fed now snarled and wore a monster was
made a cynical beast with venomous delts and belittling teeth, claws
of anger and fists of hate left her tired in an irritable state.
Hands class together she so called called sadness and fear she
surrendered herself with words she'd hear. She was no good
nothing not worthy enough the beast ever mind made it just too
tough.
Though her love saw her for the flower she was her mind saw weeds
it smelled of dust. She wondered why he never why he ever loved
There's so much be happy with her and reach for her touch. His love
was real and he believed in her deep sorrow, her sadness, but not
the monster that creeped. His wish and hope was that one day she
could see that she was the earth and he was the tree. He flourished
only if she stood strong and wide be the assuring shore to a strong
high tides. She wanted that too, but just a little bit more to slay
the Dark Beast and step out of the door. So one day she did just
that, but it wasn't all dead round when it was weakened and escaped.
Instead, the monster still lives but seems crippled at least lurks
in the shadows but no longer a beast. That woman was awakened
from a summer of too long she hurried in our steps and her
persistence was strong. She was too much to she has too much time
to cover a fleeting clock ships and searching waters not ready to
dock but it's not it's not just the excitement the rushes or along
is the anticipation of a monster coming back strong. What is she to
tell the world about the enemy within that the battles she fights
are inside of her skin?
Because you love me, let me go let me plant myself and watch me grow.
