About the Author
Yoftahie Suleiman Mohammed
Meet a storyteller with roots in both the written word and the earth itself! As an author, I weave narratives that spark curiosity and connection, while my passion for permaculture fuels a lifelong love affair with nurturing the land and living in harmony with nature. At the heart of it all is my greatest adventure: sharing life’s journey with my incredible partner and our three bright, curious souls—our children—who inspire me daily to grow, create, and tread gently on this planet we call home. Together, we’re learning that the best stories are the ones we live, from the garden soil to the pages of a book, all wrapped in the messy, joyful chaos of family love.
