The Love Tour – Day 6, Beantown!

Last updated on: November 3, 2014 at 11:19 am   By Posted by The Editors

We took a red-eye flight out of San Francisco the night of our launch party to head straight to Boston to start our East Coast leg of the Love Tour.  (Note: Redeyes are always better in idea than practice.) First up was Boston University. We were delighted to be the guests of Professor Kecia Ali, who had us speak to her intro to Islam class. The students were assigned a couple of stories to prep for the class, and Ayesha... Read more

Feeling the love from San Francisco – the beautiful city where the idea for ‘Love InshAllah’ was born – as friends and family came together to celebrate Muslim women’s literary voices tonight! One of the most striking things about our events so far? How much laughter there is at the gatherings. Such joy, love, and excitement coursing through the crowds as people – especially women – connect with each other. (Lto R) Nura Maznavi, Suzanne Syeda Shah, and Huda al-Marashi... Read more

“Powerful and relevant” stories

Last updated on: November 3, 2014 at 11:19 am   By Posted by The Editors

Muslimah Media Watch reviews Love InshAllah: “For some writers, Love InshAllah is about reconciling their American Muslim identity with the complex socio-cultural mores surrounding romantic relationships. For others, however, the book is about strengthening their relationship to the Almighty.  What most readers will ultimately agree on is that all the stories contained in this collection are of hope.  Of possibilities, that despite their complex personal life stories, ethnic backgrounds and their respective Muslim denominations, love happens, and apparently, always under the watchful... Read more

The Love Tour – Day 1, UC Santa Cruz

Last updated on: November 3, 2014 at 11:19 am   By Posted by The Editors

(Winter in California. Yep, truly blessed!) Welcome to the diary of our two-week national book tour odyssey! DAY ONE of the LOVE TOUR About halfway from San Francisco to UC Santa Cruz I had a realization. After my shower that morning, I’d forgotten to put on deodorant. “OMG, Nur!” I started as I related my tale of horror. Nura was driving but the fear on her face was clear. I thought it was because she’d been wondering what that smell... Read more
