In my quest to find more graphic novel memoirs (my favorite genre) and stories inspired by people’s actual experiences, I found myself chuckling and raising my eyebrows while flipping through the pages of cartoonist Huda Fahmy‘s works. The Michigan-born native has a series of mini-comics that have recently been published into graphic novels Huda F Are You? and That Can Be Arranged: A Muslim Love Story. These and Yes, I’m Hot in This, document the sometimes awkward, sometimes mundane elements of being a Muslim Hijabi woman in the U.S. Recently one of Fahmy’s works was optioned for a TV show, but she updated readers that it may take longer to develop because the company struggled to work with her on one of her requirements—to have a Muslim showrunner.
