A highly controversial figure, Kola Boof is perhaps best known for being the mistress of Al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden, but her brief involvement with the terrorist mastermind is but one small part of the rich tapestry of her life. Born in strife-ridden Sudan, Boof moved to the United States at an early age after the murder of her parents, later becoming a poet, novelist, vocal supporter of feminism, and proponent of “womanist” thought. Her collections of animism-inspired poetry and her poignant autobiography have become instant bestsellers, though Boof herself continues to fuel controversy both in the United States and in her native Sudan.
