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 see brown brothers
i see brown brothers
break open their rib-cages
to drink the urine of pale women.
not-my-colour women.
calling it sweet
sweet
mm-mmm
sweet honey.
these same brothers
who close their backs on the molasses
dripping thick from the hands of my land.
my-skin molasses.
turning noses over yellowed mouths
ever looking for that paler woman.
-the colonized | for my molasses sisters because you know what i’m talkin’ about
