About the Author

أم إحسان believes that every soul should be nourished, every learner valued, and every heart healed – a little at a time – with prayer, continuous learning, and good company over warm meals.

She received her Masters in Education from the University of Melbourne in 2020 and has varied working experiences as an educator, librarian and project manager.

She spends her days thinking of ways to make learning more inclusive, minds more resilient, and scones more… raspberry jam-my. In that order, mostly.
