Ruby Usman

Ruby was born in the slums of Karachi, Pakistan. She has experienced sexual abuse at the hands of many men as a child; some of them strangers and others, close family members. She grew up as a Muslim woman and experienced violence as an integral part of society and culture. She now writes about these traditions and hopes that by starting these debates, a new face of Islam is revealed. A new Islam with love, compassion and forgiveness for ALL irrespective of their gender, race and colour.

    Loved this story Ruby because it is so YOU! Your willingness to have an adventure, to explore on your own, your willingness to ask for advice and help, and especially your indomitable spirit (despite the panic 🙂 Oh, and let’s not forget the most important thing… your vulnerability!
    This is why we love and need you, Dear Teacher-Leader-Healer.
