Cover of the book Finding My Way: A Memoir, by Malala Yousafzai, coming out October 21st, 2025.

This is not the story you think you know. It’s the one I’ve been waiting to tell.

Thrust onto the public stage at fifteen years old after the Taliban’s brutal attack on her life, Malala Yousafzai quickly became an international icon known for bravery and resilience. But away from the cameras and crowds, she spent years struggling to find her place in an unfamiliar world. Now, for the first time ever, Malala takes us beyond the headlines in Finding My Way—a vulnerable, surprising memoir that buzzes with authenticity, sharp humor, and tenderness.

Gah, I haven’t worn perfume since I was about 19. Just because I don’t like it. Who knew that I could write about it in a magazine and make a buck ? 🫠

1. Invokes Hamilton
2. Rips into ICE for lying
3. Says "law enforcement officers who go into an event expecting 'a shitshow' are much more likely to experience one than those who go into the event prepared to de-escalate it.

The question isn’t whether ICE has become secret police or its functioning legally within very bad law. Very bad law made it possible for form secret police.
