Amirah is a licensed mental health therapist and writes poetry as a way to heal.  Five years ago her life was transformed when she found God - or more precisely, when He found her, through her quest for truth, meaning and hope.  Her search was sparked by the suffering she witnessed daily, both in her counseling practice and in the world around her.  She has written two books of poetry and facilitates poetry/artists workshops and events.

"Amirah does with words in poetry what C.S. Lewis did with story in Chronicles of Narnia.  She stirs the imagination and heart to sense that our experiences, sorrows and joys are connected to something far grander and wilder than we, perhaps, have yet imagined. Amirah's poetry offers, for some, an invitation to locate hope outside of our circumstances and ourselves. Her gentleness is her power and it could disarm even the hardest heart." - Jenna Hays, author of Identity and Calling
