She had converted to Islam five years ago after a period of soul-searching and learning about Islam. Born to parents who are Christian ministers, it was meeting two Turkish students that made her realise that she knew nothing substantial about Muslims or a Muslim culture. This experience triggered a personal quest to study, research and understand Islam. At university, she took a module on the representation of Islamic women in literature and this is when a chance meeting with two women, who were veiled but were so confident and powerful in who they were, intrigued her. They were women who wanted to be visible in their faith, and their appearance was no contradiction to their quest.
