Samira Mahmoodi began writing shortly after graduating from college. In 2016, she received a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. Unable to suppress her despair at that time, journaling her feelings lead her to re-discover her love for art and literature. She buried this integral part of herself after convincing her 14-year-old self she would be unsuccessful doing what she loved. In April 2019, she released her first book, To Water Her Garden. It was in this space that she unveiled the reasons behind her sadness, and where she also discovered her greatest power: herself. Follow her on Instagram @themira and Goodreads for the latest updates.
