Meenah is a Black, Muslim author who’s always been known for having a book in one hand and a pen in the other. She plans to rock with this persona until the wheels fall off—that is to say, she hopes they never do. Meenah earned her B.A. in English, focusing on Creative Writing and Multicultural U.S. Literature, from Hollins University in 2020, and has a minor in watching one too many dramas and anime. She writes selfishly for her younger self, who rarely ever saw girls who looked like her in books—much less as the main character. Her interests include her bed, her couch, good food, cute trinkets, and overthinking disguised as self-guided meditation.
