Burqa And Stilettos

A belief is a thought you have over and over again.  How are your thoughts limiting or advancing you in your life?

Burqa and Stilettos is a community for modern and contemporary Muslim, South Asian, and Middle Eastern women to connect, share, and inspire by bringing to light issues and challenges that many of us face growing up in the West.

Issues such as:

• physical, emotional, sexual, and psychological abuse

• domestic violence

• repression of sexuality

• dating/marrying outside one’s race and religion

• disownment

• being ostracized by being too religious or not religious enough

• honor killings and/or fear of being killed for simply living one’s life

• sexual orientation

It’s not about a religion or Islam per se. It is about understanding our roots, the culture we grew up in, and finding our own place in the soup of the burqa and the stiletto.

Although the letters are there, Burqa and Stilettos is about cutting through the BS. It is about who we all are. It’s about lifting the invisible veil and revealing our reality. It’s about finding our collective voice and empowering ourselves.

So, my fellow burqa and stilettos sisters, lets start talking.
