Fatima is a spoken word poet from Manchester, and a student at the School of African and Oriental Studies (SOAS), University of London. Much of her work explores her experience of being black and visibly Muslim whilst growing up in the UK. In a Buzzfeed article by Aisha Gani (2016), Fatima was listed as one of the next generation British-Somali poets to watch.
