At 21, Yassmin found herself working on a remote Australian oil and gas rig; she was the only woman and certainly the only Sudanese-Egyptian-Australian background Muslim woman. With her hijab quickly christened a "tea cosy" there could not be a more unlikely place on earth for a young Muslim woman to want to be. This is the story of how she got there, where she's going, and how she wants the world to change.
