Life as a Unicorn - Memoirs of a Muslim Drag Queen

Life as a Unicorn: A Journey from Shame to Pride and Everything in Between

Mobeen is joined by author of the book Unicorn, Amrou Al-Khahi, who will read passages of their autobiography and talk about the issues that arise. At the heart of the book is Amrou鈥檚 search for acceptance and love from family and society. It details their life from a god-fearing Muslim boy enraptured with their mother, to a vocal, queer drag queen estranged from their family and all that happens in between. Mobeen and Amrou look and discuss the main themes travelling through the book including growing up feeling an outsider, the academic drive for acceptance and finally finding drag as a way of breaking free of shame.
