Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

A Light of Her Own
Q: So I want you to tell us what this book actually is.
Ahmed says the book aims to help Muslim women feel worthy of a spiritual journey grounded in the Qur'an and Sunnah. It follows stages of womanhood, addressing menstruation, worship, family relationships, marriage, and motherhood while connecting these experiences to a relationship with Allah.
A Light of Her Own
Q: What are some of the questions, struggles, recurring themes that you've encountered through that work?
Ahmed says many concerns arise from gaps or misconceptions in religious knowledge and from cultural assumptions layered onto faith. She describes women's experiences as interconnected and says those helping them should identify the context behind the question.
Yes, She's Funny In This | Huda Fahmy
Q: What advice would you give to Muslim kids who want to become graphic novelists?
Share your work consistently, focus on progress not perfection, and seek communities and mentors who support your voice. It's important to stay true to who you are, pursue education, and build the confidence to tell your story even if it feels risky at first.
Yes, She's Funny In This | Huda Fahmy
Q: How do you balance authentic Muslim representation with broad appeal?
I write for the Muslim gaze first, staying true to faith and cultural specifics, but I also aim for universal themes like identity, family, and growing up. This dual approach helps readers from different backgrounds connect with the characters and stories while preserving authenticity.
Yes, She's Funny In This | Huda Fahmy
Q: Tell us about your journey from web comics to publishing multiple books.
I started as a kid who loved drawing and telling stories, posting simple web comics with my sister's encouragement, gradually building an audience. A pivotal break came when an editor connected with another creator and discovered my work, leading to my first major publishing deal and the ongoing Huda F series.
