'''Kola Boof''' ([[March 3]], [[1972]]) is an Egyptian-[[Sudan]]ese-American writer, feminist, black activist and outspoken advocate of freedom from slavery. She is the author of a collection of poetry, two collections of short stories, six literary novels, and her soon to be released personal memoir ''Diary of a Lost Girl'', which she describes as her "soul book". It includes 90 pages about her alleged [[1996]] sexual relationship with [[Osama bin Laden]] in [[Morocco]], which, she asserts, happened against her will and ended after six months. Initially, she claims, she denied the sexual relationship with bin Laden to protect herself from being thought of as a terrorist sympathizer when the reality was, according to her story, she had been a prisoner of bin Laden and his men.

Kola Boof was born Naima Bint Harith in [[Omdurman]], [[Sudan]]. She is the daughter of an [[Egypt]]ian archeologist father, Harith Bin Farouk, and a Gisi-Waaq [[Oromo]] mother named Jiddi and raised as a [[muslim]]. Her birthdate is unknown, but she "believes she is a [[Pisces]]." [http://kolaboof.tripod.com/remix.htm]  Her parents were murdered in front of her for making denouncements against Arab-Islamic practices in Sudan of oppressing and enslaving Black Sudanese. Her Arab grandmother put her up for adoption for having "dark" skin and after a short time in England, living with an Ethiopian family there, she was adopted by an African American couple in the [[Anacostia Park]] neighborhood of [[Washington, D.C.]]

Boof often and freely appears topless at performances and in photographs. Insisting that [[vanity]] and [[publicity]] have nothing to do with it, she has said that she is "topless to honor my mothers and grandmothers, my own African womenfolk who were always bare breasted in the sun and who gave birth to this whole world... They were not dirty and soiled by man's greed and violence. They were naked because it pleases God...and I do believe that it's an abomination against God for any woman's breasts to be covered." In other instances, she has been less spiritual about the subject: "I have no concern...whatsoever...with what White Caucasoids think about my all-natural, God-given bare black titties."
