Suhaiymah Manzoor-Khan is Muslim, an educator, writer and spoken-word poet. She is fast becoming a leading voice interrogating narratives around race/ism, feminism, gender, Islamophobia, state violence and decoloniality in Britain. She is the founder and author of the critical and educative blog, www.thebrownhijabi.com, and co-author of A FLY Girl's Guide to University: Being a Woman of Colour at Cambridge and Other Institutions of Power and Elitism (Verve, 2019). With a background studying History and Postcolonial Studies, as well as a wider education from her mother and grandmother's wisdoms, the epistemology of Islam, and work of women of colour and anti-systemic thinkers from across the world, Suhaiymah's poetry is unapologetically political and deliberately unsettling. She isn't interested in your guesses or analyses.Suhaiymah's poetry has over two million online views and since going viral as runner-up of the 2017 Roundhouse National Slam with her poem, This Is Not a Humanising Poem, she has performed on BBC Radio stations, at music festivals, in the US against Californian slam poets, across British Universities, on Sky TV, ITV, the Islam channel, Las Vegas, TEDxes, London poetry nights, mosques, protests outside the Home Office, in New York, Berlin, at Da Poetry Lounge in Los Angeles.
