Download Muslim Girl: A Coming of Age AudioBook Free
Required being attentive from the creator of MuslimGirl.com - a harrowing and candid memoir about arriving of age as a Muslim North american in the wake of 9/11, during the never-ending war on terror, and through the Trump era of everyday racism. At nine yrs . old, Amani Al-Khatahtbeh watched from her home in NJ as two planes crashed in to the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. That same time she heard her first racial slur. At time 11, when the United States had started to invade Iraq and the tv was flooded with anti-Muslim commentary, Amani noticed overwhelmed with feelings of powerful alienation from American society. At 13 her family had taken a trip to her father's native homeland of Jordan, and Amani experienced firsthand a culture built on real religion, not Islamic stereotypes. Encouraged by her trip, and after many years of feeling like her voice as a Muslim woman was marginalized and neglected throughout a time when all the press could discuss was, ironically, Muslim women, Amani created a site called MuslimGirl. As the editor in chief, she come up with a team of Muslim women and began a life dedicated to activism. This is actually the extraordinary bank account of Amani's quest through adolescence as a Muslim lady, from the Islamophobia she's confronted on a regular basis to the website she launched that became a social phenomenon to the nation's political local climate in the 2016 election cycle with Donald Trump as the Republican nominee. While dispelling the myth a headscarf makes you a walking aim for for terrorism, she stocks both her own personal accounts and anecdotes from the sisterhood of freelance writers that serve as her editorial team at MuslimGirl. Amani's genuine, urgent message is fresh, well-timed, and a deeply necessary counterpoint to the current rhetoric about the Middle East.
