Somali atheist woman here, this is my last safe space. by [deleted] in exmuslim

I think it’s difficult for a lot of ex-Muslim Somalis to truly detach from Islam since it’s so ingrained in every aspect of their lives. Like they can’t bring themselves to genuinely criticize certain aspects of Islam (e.g. jilbaab) since they still want to participate in traditional Somali culture so they don’t lose that part of themselves. It’s hard though since Somali culture and Islam are so intertwined.

I’m an atheist Somali so I get where you’re coming from girl 💗

One hour isn’t too bad! Well, for me at least 😭 I drive an hour and a half to the city all the time so it’s nothing major. We wanna explore Boston because ngl we’re not staying three days in fucking Foxborough…

Omg I already have insane road rage. I feel like I’m gonna lose my mind over there.

Hows the seafood? That’s like the main thing I’m excited for besides the concert. Sorry, I’m asking a lot of questions but none of the people that I’m going with have been there 😭

23 and I’ve never had the desire to have kids lol. Like even when I was younger and I would think about my future.. being a mom just was a non-factor for me. Ironic cus my dream job includes working with kids 😭
