Salaam! I’m Cherry Aisha, welcome to my blog – Battling Pride and Surviving Prejudice. Here I share spiritual reflections, tips and reviews for halal friendly days out.
Salaam, I’m Cherry Aisha, an English convert Muslim. I created this blog to share reflections through the eyes of an English Muslim woman. With a deep love of nature (yes that includes dogs), spiritual reflections and a strong sense of sisterhood, I hope there’s here something to inspire you.

New posts are shared every week – keep popping back to make sure you don’t miss out!
