Extract
this book has been hard to research and harder to write. It would have been impossible without the enthusiasm and support of the many Muslim advocates and service providers who agreed to share their experiences and tell their stories, and who asked me probing and incisive questions in response to mine. I cannot name them but I hope they know that I am in awe of their courage and determination.
I have been blessed with a family that supports my work and makes my life beautiful. To my partner, Cemil, who is in competition with me over who writes the best acknowledgment: You have been there every step of the way; you have listened and read, commented and mirrored, admired and confirmed, and you have shared my outrage at the pain human beings inflict on each other every day. You are my rock in a world that scares me a little bit more every day—with you I will survive or go down fighting for what is just and beautiful. To Leyla, whose brilliant mind, sparkling wit, and generous love have fueled me in the darkest of times. And to Mehtap, whose heart is so big and whose courage to stand up for what is right seems endless, I think of you when I lose heart. Thank you, for another “Go, Mama, Go” poster for this book and for the one where every letter of my name is an amazing attribute: Joyful, Unstoppable, Loving, Intelligent, Amazing, Never Give Up, Excellent. My daughters are the reason for this work: I want the world to be a better place for them, a place that nurtures them to be their best selves and a place that is safer than it was for me. Recent political developments have both increased my worry for them and demonstrated what is possible when people unite for justice.
