Maleeha Siddiqui is a first-generation American Muslim of Pakistani descent living in Virginia. She's an avid reader. Born out of that was her love for writing. Now she's always doing both. Maleeha studied Biotechnology Regulatory Affairs in college, and when she isn't writing, she can be found working at a biotech company or hanging out with her family. Barakah Beats is based on her own experiences growing up in America as a young practicing Muslim.
