On not enduring for the sake of enduring

Hello! I’m Tahmina Begum and I’ve been writing The Aram since International Women’s Day 2020. This newsletter centres the joys, comforts and intimate workings of women of colour and Muslim women. Right now, it is a great time to become a paid subscriber because:

🕯 I am sharing the transitional period of my life, stories of sisterhood, Love, romance, travel, poetry, and a life of writing

🕯 interviewing prominent women as I go along

🕯who, in turn, write guest pieces

🕯 while I share LoveNotes, a DIY audio offering for your in-between days

🕯 there are behind-the-scenes looks into what I’m building (my debut book Womanhood, personal curricula, anything else)

🕯 this is a reader-funded publication that mentors upcoming women of colour writers and regularly donates to charities

🕯 there is also an offer of 20% off annual subscriptions forever, making the newsletter 62p per week (and around 50p for me after fees)

So I hope you can contribute to investing in independent writing and supporting a community of women of colour and Muslim women, too. Please forward this to friends and Loved Ones, word of mouth always helps ❣️ and mostly, ty for being here!

Inspired by my mind in the early morning. Here’s to understanding that creating a great life and immersive art does not have to come from depriving yourself of rest.

With aram,

Tahmina
