[Post-script, Maybe you have wondered at protests as I have: "What am I doing here? I am not stopping the bombs." Sometimes you change minds of ppl who can—and sometimes just being there is enough. You never know how your presence might touch someone else. You just never know.]

"There have been few moments in my life when I haven’t been writing a story of one kind or another[...] even before I learned how to actually write, I would tell stories by drawing crude drawings on pieces of paper. It’s just what I do."

On why representation of African Muslims in literature is so important to me. (A Thread)
Growing up in Nigeria, there was nothing of the me in the xters I read. They got sunburned, snowed in, had four seasons and no mosquitoes. And for a long time, their food made no sense to me

[Abu Bakr As-Siddique @bakronline]

The works in this issue are so so ma sha Allah. I'm still digging through but I've enjoyed everything I've read so far. Beauty!!

[Iman Collective @iman_collective]

It's been a long time coming, and we're happy to finally unveil the cover and the contributors for our second issue.
