In this powerful autobiographical narrative, we witness the remarkable journey of a Somali girl, from her harrowing experience of being circumcised and sold into marriage at a tender age to her courageous escape and subsequent rise as a prominent figure in the fashion industry. As she navigates through adversity, she finds her voice as an advocate against female genital mutilation, embarking on a mission to bring awareness to this deeply ingrained cultural practice.
