Possible Pop Sugar 2020 Prompts: By a woman of color, involving social media, author in 20s, main character in 20s, recommended by a podcast

I really enjoyed this short book in which Amani talks about her experience starting a forum on the internet for contemporary Muslim women to discuss their lives and their faiths. So often faiths are dominanted by more conservative male voices, and Amani created a place for people who don't necessarily fit that, find a place to not be alone! It was a short read, but a delight.
