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.

Brain storm
Stormy seas swim silently
No decency, no apology.
In every crevice of the mind
The waters drown, reason.
Battle ensues, gasping for breath
Waves envelop fragile air
Thoughts reach out for pockets of hope
Amongst the sea, destruction.
But every storm precedes a calm
Tsunamis rage, but do no harm
Human strength finds the shore
In every storm, hope.
Human spirit, celestial thoughts
Kith and kin, healing hearts
Break the clouds, from rage to still
Graceful gratitude, victorious.
