Ameena Tabassum

Ameena Tabassum is a British Bangladeshi author born and raised in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Although she spent most of her life in the UK, where she completed her studies, started a family, and pursued her career, her heart remains tied to her homeland. Graduating with a BSc honours in mathematics and computer science from King’s College, London, she later obtained an MSc in public management from the University of Birmingham.

While working in data, her true passion lies in writing, especially in her mother tongue, Bangla. During the Covid lockdown, she took her writing seriously, publishing five novels in Bangla, all of which became best-sellers on Rokomari.com in Bangladesh. Matritto | Motherhood is the translated version of her first novel.

Ameena resides in leafy Surrey with her husband, two beautiful children, and a cat named Aura.
