Muslim communities have had clear markers as to who isn’t the right person to be speaking about our issues. But who is right is still something that lies in murky waters. For me, the diverse nature of Muslim communities ultimately means there will never be one figure we’d be happy to see representing us. Representation will always come in bits and pieces, and those representing will not all look like me or be cut from the same cloth. We also need to understand that one person’s whole existence cannot seek to represent us.
