“It's difficult because all of my surroundings are Muslims telling me I'm crazy and there's something wrong with me. So it was such a relief to meet you guys - to know I'm not the only one, that there are people like me.”

“I felt so isolated (even with friends) because I can't speak about these issues with them. So it's great to have a community here - a safe space with people who understand. It's been so validating.”

About the Founder

Though I grew up in Vancouver, Canada, I endured similar struggles to girls born in Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, Pakistan or Iran.

When I was 19, I was forced to marry a member of Al Qaeda. I quickly became pregnant with my baby girl.

​Not wanting my daughter to have the same life I did- I planned a daring escape.

My mother threatened to have me killed

for getting divorced, living alone, taking off my hijab, and sullying the family honor.

This experience inspired me to start Free Hearts Free Minds, to help people who are as scared and isolated and hopeless as I was.

To know more about my story, read my book ‘Unveiled’. 

And to help people like me escape seemingly inescapable oppression, become a regular donor – you can not only save a life, you can give the gift of hope and freedom.
