Fatima N. Najem is a growing self-publishing author, a Child and Youth Care student, and a Mental Health advocate who loves to bring a heartfelt touch to her writings, yet introduce her comedic dark humour approach as well! She recently published the book Grow or Grieve, which captures the writings of a young adult who in all ways of life was lost. After years of self-work, she now presents to you her words as a reminder that we're in full control as to whether or not we choose to grow or grieve from certain chapters of our lives.
