Hello, I'm Aminat
I've cherished writing and reading fiction since childhood, though life's complexities led me to take a break for several years. While I've recently rekindled my love for reading, I'm gradually finding my way back to writing as well.
I'm particularly fascinated by the complex dance between who women are expected to be and who they truly are. Through my writing, I'm rediscovering my creative voice while exploring the beautiful contradictions of life.
Here, I share pieces of my journey, celebrating both the challenges and blessings that shape our authentic selves. Join me as I weave words from unexpected moments and find my way back to myself through storytelling.

The Patterns We Weave
My debut novel follows Amina, a young woman who discovers her grandmother's journal and uncovers family secrets that reshape her understanding of identity and belonging. Expected publication: Fall 2023.
