Book 2 – Where is home?
“Danemarkiya!” My father exclaimed when I told him about my dream. A dream where I was dreaming in Arabic as opposed to my usual Danish. I was touched and felt the joy warming my heart – my own father says I am Danish.
This is a story about a 21-year-old young woman and her journey to be seen and recognized in the country she was born in. As a Dane.
The story shows a strong woman struggling with the system to gain Danish citizenship while at the same time trying to find inner peace in a world with great uncertainty for her future.
“Where is home?” is written for the average citizen who wants a better understanding of what it means to live with a temporary residence permit. In addition, the book is also relevant for politicians and others who deal with immigration and integration law and who, through this story, gain insight into how the Immigration Act unfolds in practice.
Book 3 – Sarcasm is my shield
A life surrounded by lovable people, fields and cows, two bridges – and what was supposed to be the start of a newborn black-haired little girl’s life, born on 06.11.2001, at 00.28, turned into a life struggle for recognition with sarcasm as a shield.
Book 4 – My Story, my voice
I arrived in Denmark right on my 16th birthday at the beginning of Advent. It was cold and the weather was grey. I knew nothing about Denmark except Nyhavn’s colourful terraced houses and The Little Mermaid, which was the first thing that popped up on Google Images. From Kastrup Airport I was driven with my family to Valby. Unfortunately, my shock at the bad weather was only the beginning of the many hard experiences that awaited me in this beautiful country. Here I grew up from an insecure girl to an independent adult woman.
