Lamya H: Hijab Butch Blues

Guest: Lamya H (writer, activist)

Lamya H chronicles their journey to living fully as a nonbinary, queer, hijabi in the book Hijab Butch Blues. Their work employs stories from the Koran and how Lamya interprets these stories to amplify their own journey into full personhood. We chat queerness, Islam, gender, hijab, religion, place and so much more!

Their memoir has been billed as one of the best LGBTQ+ books of 2023 by multiple literary associations and is a stunning example of how memoir can be used to toggle between the deeply personal and the universal.
