The Love Tour heads to Detroit!

The Love Tour heads to Detroit! 2014-11-03T11:18:54-07:00

The 2nd phase of our Love Tour has begun! With editor Nura’s recent move to Chicago, we’re kicking off a series of book events in the Midwest.

Our first stop — The Motor City, Detroit, Michigan. We were invited by Wayne State graduate student Sumaya Haji-Jama who, along with fellow organizer Fadumo Abdi, put together a fabulous reading at Seva Detroit, a local, delicious vegetarian restaurant.

We were thrilled to be joined by a such an energetic and engaged audience that included TLC’s All-American Muslim star Suehaila Amen, writer Zarinah El-Amin Naeem, and Nura’s new grandmother-in-law and mother-in-law!
