Mama Habiba

Mama Habiba has lived a life that spans East and West, North and South—quite literally. Born in New Zealand to Irish ancestry, she was raised in Canada, spent years in the Middle East and North Africa, and has taught across North America, China, and many places in between. This rich, cross-cultural journey has given her a perspective that goes beyond labels and identities. From this unique vantage point, she seeks to share a universal human experience, guiding her audience beyond conditioning and prejudice to a deeper understanding of our shared humanity. A revert to Islam in 1980, Mama Habiba is now planning a series of books related to Islam, offering thoughtful and engaging content for readers of all backgrounds. In addition to her publishing work, she runs Mama Habiba on Etsy, where she creates and sells items that raise awareness about Palestine, Lebanon, and Syria, reflecting her deep commitment to justice and cultural heritage. Stay tuned for her upcoming books!
