Synopsis
At 21, Yassmin found herself working on a remote Australian oil and gas rig; she was the only woman and certainly the only Sudanese-Egyptian-Australian background Muslim woman. With her hijab quickly christened a 'tea cosy' there could not be a more unlikely place on earth for a young Muslim woman to want to be. This is the story of how she got there, where she is going, and how she wants the world to change. Born in the Sudan, Yassmin and her parents moved to Brisbane when she was two, and she has been tackling barriers ever since. At 16 she founded Youth Without Borders, an organisation focused on helping young people to work for positive change in their communities. In 2007 she was named Young Australian Muslim of the Year and in 2010 Young Queenslander of the Year. In 2011 Yassmin graduated with a Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering (First Class Honours) and in 2012 she was named Young Leader of the Year in the Australian Financial Review and Westpac's inaugural 100 Women of Influence Awards as well as an InStyle cultural leader and a Marie Claire woman of the future. Yassmin has now been awarded Youth of the Year in the Australian Muslim Achievement Awards. Penguin Random House is contributing royalties to Youth Without Borders., Yassmin's Story speaks with insight, humour, heart and urgency about belonging, unbelonging, and all the complex places in between. Maxine Beneba Clarke, Yassmin Abdel-Magied is a young Muslim dynamo offering a bracing breath of fresh air - and hope. At 21, Yassmin found herself working on a remote oil and gas rig: she was the only woman. With her hijab quickly christened a 'tea cosy', there could be no more unlikely place for Yassmin to want to be. This is the story of how she got there, where she is going, and how she wants the world to change. It is a story about being a third culture kid; growing up migrant and Muslim in Australia post 9/11; navigating the usual teenage dramas, on top of adjusting to now being seen as the face of the 'enemy'. Yassmin reflects on the fluidity and responsibility of cultural identity and appropriation, on bridging cultures, about the strength of women and learning to lead. Yassmin's Story challenges who we are as a society, and asks you to join the journey to a better place. A big bold book with a wicked sense of humour that tells the story of an engineer, a leader and an inspiration to all of us.
