An Assistant Professor of Civil Engineering at FIU in Türkiye, Dr. Abubakar lives at the uncommon intersection of science and art where precision meets imagination, and structure gives way to story. Her award winning cultural piece, ITINOCHI (Hand Woven Fabric), published by wingless dreamers in an anthology titled “My Sanskrit in Teal” earned recognition for its rich celebration of heritage, identity, and the enduring threads that bind generations together.
Her writing is rooted in a singular purpose: to wrap healing around simple sentences so that the world can have healthier souls. Whether exploring love, loss, memory, faith, or the quiet courage of ordinary people, she crafts stories that linger long after the final page has been turned.

The Flower Queen is a lyrical meditation on healing, power, imperfection, and becoming. Through elemental imagery—soil, light, water, roots, and bloom—it traces the journey of a woman forged by an uneasy past and guided by deliberate choice. She is goddess and mortal, gentle and formidable, wounded and luminous. Each piece reveals a facet of her evolution: love that teaches, pain that delivers purpose, ego that excavates truth, and kindness that reshapes worlds quietly. At the heart of this collection is flower work—the unglamorous, sacred labor of digging, tending, and returning to oneself until something beautiful emerges. These poems honor emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and resilience without romanticizing suffering. They insist that healing is not linear, that softness is not weakness, and that growth often comes through dirtied hands. Ultimately, this is not just her story. It is an invitation to recognize the bloom within us all.
