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.

Equanimity
with a day comes another day,
one misery placed against
another misery,
a betrayal and then
the second betrayal,
from one hurt inches out
the other hurt
thus my commeasuring
life:
when it hits
shame nips
and gnaws at me
day follows
another day
like a worm without prints
oozing quietly on
the time-settled
cobwebs scattered there
shiver a little
among sharp coughs
this day, let it dawn
