Raashida Khan has written a poetry collection that is both erudite and rhythmical, what one would of course expect of a poet.
Raashida Khan is a content creator, author, poet, wife, mother and friend a unicorn that does exist. As a caring, compassionate and empathetic person who loves observing people and life, she is a storyteller of note. She would like to be remembered as never boring.
She is 48 and was born in Durban (her favourite city), where she lived for twenty-seven years before moving to Johannesburg. She studied at the University of Kwa-Zulu Natal qualifying with a BA Hons (Economic History).
Her short story Your Voice, My Strength was selected as the winning entry for the 2017 South African Muslim Womens Short Story Competition. She plans to self-publish an anthology of poetry and her novel, Fragrance of Forgiveness, her labour of love. In the meanwhile, she is writing her second novel and continues penning emotional, emotive poetry and the occasional social commentary blog.
