Coming Around

A queer Muslim woman in Brooklyn grapples with the emotional complexity of coming out to her devout mother, whose strong faith and cultural values create a formidable barrier. The story follows her as she navigates the fear of losing her family while yearning to live authentically.

This intimate portrayal delves into the delicate balance between maintaining familial bonds and embracing one’s true identity, offering a poignant reflection on the intersections of faith, sexuality, and the hope for acceptance within a traditional household.
