Muti'ah Badruddeen

Muti’ah grew up in Lagos, Nigeria and claims Ibadan as the hometown of her heart.

A self-proclaimed bibliophile who reads everything except fantasy and paranormal, Muti’ah started writing in high school, hand-written stories in lined notebooks; invariably filled with teenaged drama, American high school themes and foreign-named characters. Her writing has improved somewhat since then.

When she is not reading, writing, doctoring or parenting, Muti’ah can be found watching documentaries on historical and social justice issues, exploring physical bookshops with her children or sleeping. She also enjoys building elaborate fantasies of what her life would be like if she didn’t have to work.

In many ways, Muti’ah is the reserved bookworm from her adolescence. She is still figuring out these new fang’d means of human connectedness called Social Media. She can be found on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, all @deenprogress
