I was born in Morocco (Al-Maghrib), the land of sunset, where the sun bows in golden reverence.

My story begins in the glowing alleys of Morocco where the scent of mint tea lingers in the air and love first spoke to me through the gentle hands of my grandmother (ummi).

Raised in America, I grew up between two worlds, one rooted in ancient traditions, the other in modern complexity, and through that contrast, I came to understand both the ache and the beauty of becoming.

Khadija’s Journey: What Love Is, is not just a book.

It’s a cinematic, soul- stirring experience.

From the sunset-washed streets of Morocco to the sacred stillness of India, each chapter is alive with rich detail and emotional depth. You won’t just read it, you’ll feel it. You’ll taste the food. You’ll hear the call to prayer.

You’ll dance with the dervishes and sit in silence as sacred mantras rise like incense in the air.

This journey is wrapped in sound and spirit, from childhood rock ‘n’ roll memories to the whirl of Sufi music and the divine vibration of Indian chants. Music moves through every memory of my being, guiding the reader into the rhythm of life that’s shaped by love, truth, and lived wisdom.

At its heart, this book is a love letter to self-discovery and to the divine energy we hold within.

I’ve walked and lived through the sacred traditions of Islam, Christianity, Sufism and Hinduism - not to seek outside of me, but to deepen the radiance already pulsing in my soul. Each path offers a different doorway to the Divine. It is the vessel through which love, healing, and transformation flows.

This is a healing journey, one of courage, clarity, and voice. It’s not just a story. This book reads like a film - vivid and raw - inviting you to witness a woman’s journey of transformation and vivid experiences.
