Yes, I'm Hot in This

Fahmy uses humor to work through stereotypes and tell stories about nuanced hijabi characters. The Washington Post Popular Instagram cartoonist and Muslim-American Huda Fahmy presents a hilarious, relatable, and painfully honest new collection of comics that break down barriers and show how universal our everyday problems, worries, and joys actually are. At some point in our lives, weve all felt a little out of place. Huda Fahmy has found its a little more difficult to fade into the crowd when wearing a hijab. In Yes, Im Hot in This, Huda navigates the sometimes-rocky waters of life from the unique perspective of a Muslim-American woman, breaking down misconceptions of her culture one comic at a time. From recounting the many questions she gets about her hijab every day (yes, she does have hair) and explaining how she runs in an abaya (just fine, thank you) to dealing with misconceptions about Muslims, Yes, Im Hot in This tackles universal feelings from an point of view we dont hear from nearly enough. Every one of us have experienced love, misunderstanding, anger, and a deep desire for pizza. In Yes, Im Hot in This, Hudas clever comics demonstrate humors ability to bring us together, no matter how different we may appear on the surface.
