About the author
Salma Yusuf is a poet who is used to looking at life through a different lens, literally. Her studies in science morphology mean she's been looking at cells under a microscope for a long time. Looking at life on a deeper level and finding connection finding connections between science, nature and faith prompted her to look inward with the same perspective. Once she viewed herself in a new light, taking up meditation and yoga, her inner light shone brighter than ever, and she could finally see it. Her poetry brings words to the light in all of us and speaks to the human spirit, our grit and determination, our unwillingness to give up, and everything that makes us perfectly imperfect.
Salma currently lives in Manchester, UK. As a woman from an African background, she's faced many struggles throughout her life, but none she couldn't overcome. She's still fighting, proving that she's limitless in every aspect of her life. She hopes to help others wake up their divinity and love within themselves. After all, she knows that life is a journey, and our inner light can guide us through the darkest moments.
