The Time I met Yasmin Mogahed for the 1st Time

Assalamualaikum :) At her first ever talk in Johor Bahru I have actually known Ustazah Yasmin since I was in high school around 2012-2014. I'm not sure how I heard about her but I think it was because of her super popular book entitled "Reclaim Your Heart" as shown in the photo above. I didn't get to have it although there were many times which I exited bookshops buying only necessary items and staring sadly to the book that was most of the times at the best-sellers section. So, I really didn't get to you know; have that sense of attachment to her. She was merely someone I always want to remember and refer  to as an icon. But it wasn't really like that during my high school time. However, I did slowly try to follow up her social medias. Her writings were so deep and spiritual sometimes I don't understand them just enough to make me ponder upon the matters related to them. In a sense, I didn't really have that sort of special feeling of her.
