Mohamed Hammoud · Author

Writing shaped by faith, memory, and the cost of belonging.

Across memoir, spiritual reflection, and children’s literature, these works move between Beirut and Canada, between war and distance, asking what it means to live truthfully within inheritance and rupture. Each book returns to the same question: how do we remain whole when the world asks us to fracture?

My Name Is Mohamed

A memoir of resilience, identity, faith, and the cost of being renamed.

Renamed “Mike” after arriving in Canada, Mohamed learns early the cost of safety that requires erasure. Moving between Beirut and Canada, war and classrooms, the memoir traces how identity fractures and reforms. It confronts racism and belonging while asking what it takes to reclaim a name, and the life it carries, with honesty and courage.
