Some of y’all might be wondering: isn’t Yassmin an engineer who designed race cars? Why is she getting an artists residency?
Well you would be correct. This is the car I designed at uni, but here’s a thread of some of my writing work that I’ve also worked on, cos why not?

I started out at the @GriffithReview with writing about my time on oil rigs: https://www.griffithreview.com/articles/on-the-rigs/
Here’s that time I wrote about 2017 for GR https://www.griffithreview.com/articles/a-little-too-close-to-the-sun-advocacy-modern-age/
And that time I wrote about my obsession with cryptocurrency https://www.griffithreview.com/articles/to-the-moon-cryptocurrency/
And that book I published at 24, when I still had a full time job as a driller https://www.penguin.com.au/books/yassmins-story-9780857986177
And that book I published at 27 (first foray into fiction!) https://www.penguin.com.au/books/you-must-be-layla-9780143788515
And that award winning anthology I wrote an essay in https://www.panmacmillan.com/authors/mariam-khan/it-s-not-about-the-burqa/9781509886401
And that other iconic anthology I wrote a piece in: https://www.harpercollins.com/9780062912985/new-daughters-of-africa/
Oh yeh and that essay on free speech: https://www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/2018/05/05/tyranny-and-free-speech/15254424006191
And that stuff I did about Formula 1: https://www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/2018/05/05/tyranny-and-free-speech/15254424006191
And all the stuff I wrote about Sudan, especially after my cousin was shot and killed in the protests https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/apr/10/cousin-killed-sudan-protests-death-sudanese-diaspora
I mean I could go on, but Allah’s blessings really have no bounds. Love y’all xx
