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.

Standstill
I watch the world go by
Silently
I hear the chime of time
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock
No mouse ran up the clock
Instead people sat alone in dead space
Once together in laughter & harmony
But not now in this Apocalyptic world
The madness overflows into everything
Speaking in tongues of greed not gratitude
In zones 123 to 321
As people loose sense of self
No point of excessive wealth
It has no value except in loose morals
This is where it counts
Human decency and togetherness
Spending time
Where it matters the most
