“I acknowledge my mother’s open heart. Shokaria, Ammi, for supporting, and being part of, this zine making.  I thank you for giving me permission to share our vulnerable and intimate conversations.  I hope that this zine will be a way for other Urdu-english speakers in similar relationships to feel supported when discussing identities around Queerness.”  farha najah, excerpt from  “پیاری سی امی میں کویر ہوں – A Love Letter To My Mom” zine.

Zine title inspired by “Rewriting the Script: A Love Letter To Our Families” (2001), available on youtube.
