With a British-Punjabi dad (who tries too hard to be desi and completely fails at it), a convert step-mother (trying to navigate between her old life and new), and a half-but-only-by-blood biracial brother (who identifies as Asian one day and Black the next), her life has never been... boring.
But this was all before she discovered she had a long lost HUGE family on the other side of the world, got an invitation to a desi wedding thousands of kilometres away, and met a boy who wasn't family, but felt like home.
Aida thought she'd at least be equipped to handle the drama.
Mina Rehman is a reader, a 90s kid (since we're putting all the important stuff here), an amateur nature photographer (but only when she remembers to charge her camera's battery), a writer, a flexitarian (which might be another word for "struggling vegetarian"), a feminist (obviously), a horrible poet (but that doesn't stop her), proud mother of an adopted Jaguar (Go WWF!), a science communicator and a currently non-practicing astrophysicist. She loves telling stories that help people connect with one another, but mostly, she just wants to use her words to make people laugh. When she's not reading, writing or being lazy, she can be found in Manchester's city centre doing really cool experiments and convincing people of the awesomeness of science. A Princess’s Guide to Dragon Domestication is her first published book.
