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.

Grief
she has her father’s hands
filled with soft oceans.
to sleep
i would lay next to him
listening to The Voice of Peace
salt-water-air filling the room
as i wrapped my small hands around his
(my body a fraction of an already small bed)
dreaming new worlds
safe worlds
beyond Occupation
which is where he is now.
today
when i take her hands in mine
i feel their salt-water-air.
i do not know what will happen to me
when she takes her oceans to her father
and leaves me ashore.
