Description:
Ma says I overthink everything.
Which is easy for her to say when SHE’S not the one who has to stand in front of the whole school on non-uniform day and explain her whole life story like some kind of walking documentary while my annoying little brother gets to stay home all day and play (I love him really).
But now everyone’s suddenly talking about culture, outfits, traditions… and somehow even hijab.
Meanwhile, I’m just trying to:
- survive secondary school,
- stop tripping over my own bag,
- and not embarrass myself in front of Chloe’s circle.
Which was going fine until people actually started noticing me.
Now I’ve got new friends, awkward questions, growing drama with Layla, and a quiet girl called Amina who somehow acts completely comfortable being visibly Muslim at school (I genuinely need to know her secret).
Because me? I can barely look at myself in the mirror without panicking five seconds later. And the more I try to fit in, the more I feel like I’m hiding parts of myself.
And honestly? I’m starting to wonder why nobody’s ever taught me.
I’m not even sure who the real version of me is anymore.
Note to self… maybe it’s time I figure that out myself.
Let’s go, Zay. You’ve got this.
Recommended for ages 3-8 years.
