Just came across Lies That Shaped You, a great reminder that we don’t have to live by the beliefs we inherited. We can rewrite our story and choose a bigger, freer life.

Yasmen Ahmed recently signed the book at the Sharjah Book Fair, helping bring this message directly to readers in the region. With print-on-demand (POD) now enabled, copies of the book can be printed locally. Our distribution network will help amplify your global reach, making it easier, faster, and more affordable for readers throughout the Middle East and North Africa to discover and purchase your book.
