Seems incongruent, but like my life and Salma’s and many others, this story exists in the space between various divergent and touching worlds:
"We the People" by Tribe Called Quest
"Like Home" by Eminem
"Hold On" by Alabama Shakes
"Sigh No More" by Mumford & Sons
"Take Back the Power" by Rage Against the Machine
"Change" by Tracy Chapman
"On Top of the World" by Imagine Dragons
"Rumi’s Song" by Pearls of Islam
"Ain’t No Man" by Avett Brothers
That last song was kind of my theme song overall. There’s a stanza that pretty much sums up the fighting spirit of my main character, Salma:
'Ain't no man that can save me'
'There ain't no man that can enslave me'
'Ain't no man or men that can change the shape my soul is in'
