sister-hood is an award-winning digital magazine spotlighting the diverse voices of women of Muslim heritage.
sister-hood is a digital magazine and a series of live events. We create platforms for women of Muslim heritage to speak for themselves, rather than being spoken for or spoken about. sister-hood challenges stereotypes and promotes the fearless, progressive, creative voices of women of Muslim heritage.
sister-hood is currently on hiatus whilst we work on our relaunch. The site will still be available for your reading pleasure.
We'd like to thank all of our readers and contributors for their support over the years and look forward to coming back bigger, better and stronger.

I am the morning rose
I am the morning rose.
At dawn, I stand erect.
The breeze carries the scent of my dreams.
My petals form a thousand smiles,
the ones Hafez once wrote about.
I will gently wither. I am patient.
My petals will crumble
and may be used to make rose sherbet.
I will then melt on the tongue of children
and become laughter.
