Maha Ever After

Born in 1970 in Durban, Sumayya Lee attended Durban Indian Girls’ Secondary, where inspirational English teachers instilled in her a love of language. Her first job was as an Islamic Studies teacher to children and adults. Lee married at twenty and studied to be a Montessori Directress during this time. Two children later, she was divorced and seeking new direction. She did a Cambridge Certificate in Teaching English as a Foreign Language and went on to work with adults. She is now remarried and lives, writes and counts the sunny days in London with her husband, two children and their cat. Sumayya loves reading and eating, preferably under an umbrella on a Durban beach. She hates injustice, Islamophobia, misogyny and February in England.
