Abstract
This narrative of an Anglo-Asian Muslimah reveals the important influence of Islam and faith as the core of identity, which is apparently used as a mechanism in contemporary society. In conclusion, the narrator presents a positive representation of a Muslimah who is at ease with her dual heritage whilst being rooted in Islam. She presents herself as open-minded and undeterred, thus implying that such counter narratives need to be added to the wider Muslim narratives. It is based on my TQR paper.
