Alhamdullilah. That’s a wrap on mine and hubby’s debut feature film
#notlikeus
Calling this a journey doesn’t quite cover it. Thank you to every single person, cast and crew who believed in us, understood the assignment, and let us tell this story with the honesty and humour it deserved. To my family who have always been there and who I couldn’t have created this without (literally) and a massive thank you to those already showing us incredible love.
To the people who’ve decided without seeing a single frame, without knowing what this story is actually about that my husband and I no longer deserve their support, and have given us hate and threats instead. Your support didn’t get my family through Mogadishu. It didn’t raise me in London. It didn’t care for my father, when he was sick. It didn’t pay my bills. It didn’t put me through law school. My battles in and out the ring wasn’t won or lost because of your support, or lack thereof. So bun your support. We only fear Allah.
This fi...
