Every Thursday, on Instagram Live, I read from my second book The Seven Necessary Sins For Women and Girls. And I post clips of my favourite bits. This is from the chapter on Attention:

I am a whore. Become an attention whore.
I recorded the audiobook of The Seven Necessary Sins For Women and Girls and also for my first book Headscarves and Hymens: Why the Middle East Need a Sexual Revolution.

I read from the latter on Instagram Live on Tuesday.

I really enjoy the readings.

“Write with your tongues of fire,” Gloria Anzaldúa.

Her words are the epigraph to my first book Headscarves and Hymens: Why the Middle East Needs a Sexual Revolution.

Tongue of Fire: Emma Goldman, Public Womanhood, and the Sex Question - I’m currently reading & will review soon
