Mohamed initially wrote for herself.

Since then, Mohamed's short stories have appeared in many magazines and anthologies. Her short story Willing was nominated in 2017 for the Pushcart Prize. The Annual Migration of Clouds won the 2022 Aurora Award for Best Novelette/Novella. It was also a finalist for the Georges Bugnet Award for Fiction and the Robert Kroetsch City of Edmonton Book Prize. Her novel The Siege of Burning Grass was shortlisted for the 2024 Ursula K. Le Guin Prize.
