They talk about her book We Have Always Been Here: A Queer Muslim Memoir, and about what it's like both to be LGBT in Muslim communities and a Muslim in LGBT communities. Don't forget to listen to all our our IWD20 series, where we talk to brilliant women including Amelia Bullmore, Sophie Walker, Helen Lewis, Vivienne Hayes and Su Pollard. And Happy IWD to you all.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/standardissuespodcast. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
