Season 2 Episode 1 (Part 2): In Conversation With Zeba Talkhani
« It was very important to me that when I write a book it stays true to my experiences and that I don’t give in to the stereotypes, for editors and publishers to not tell me to cater to existing biases. » Zeba Talkhani
In Part 2, Zeba and Lou talk about taking control of the narrative when it comes to U.K. attitudes towards the Muslim community; how Zeba learnt to stand up for herself in the face of people's ignorance surrounding her faith and the importance of editors who will do the emotional work with you throughout the book publishing process.
