I'm going second all the comments that state
1. Just write it
2. Your experience is valid because it is your own.

I definitely relate to the feeling and question of am I [culturally, ethnically, racially, etc.] Enough to tell this story? Should there be someone else telling this story? And the entire litany of questions that arise (and can be useful when trying to be conscientious and critical of your work) when you begin to look at your own experience. But that culture is as much yours as it is hers, even if your experiences differ. You have your own and different story to tell. It's no use at all to paralyze yourself because this one person is currently doing this. I'm sure you're not the only person from that country who grew up away from there and has similar influences as you, and that is a story YOU can tell. And maybe her if she's a good writer, does her research and consults. The same way you can.

Fear cannot restrain us, we mustn't let it.
