We’re really looking forward to being with y’all tomorrow for our Community Gathering led by @yaffasutopia followed by Jummah prayer with @jummah4all and khutbah with Safae. If you haven’t already, register bit.ly/jummah-prayers. 🩵
Prepare to open up, embrace vulnerability and connect with your sensual self. Join us TOMORROW 5PM-7PM PST! This space is a safe haven for Queer and Trans Muslims to explore their sensuality. Registration link in bio.
Our team gathered together at @charisbooksandmore last night for a book reading and conversation with @yaffasutopia. We are grateful for the opportunity to gather with the Atlanta community to dream big together of the utopia we want to create. Thank you for having us!
Desecrated Poppies: An Evening with Mx Yaffa
Atlanta fam - Please come join us on Sunday at @charisbooksandmore at 6:30PM ET! Listen to our Executive Director, @yaffasutopia, read a selection of poems from “Desecrated Poppies” and meet the rest of our team!
“Desecrated Poppies,” written during the eclipse in April 2024 and in anticipation of the November 2024 elections, delves into the intersections of anti-trans and anti-Palestine politics, illustrating how they intertwine with fascism.
Through essays and poetry, @yaffasutopia navigates their experiences of these seemingly conflicting identities, both of which are weaponized to advance fascism. “Desecrated Poppies” also explores antidotes to fascism, with a particular focus on cultural work and the imperative to prioritize the most marginalized among us. A world beyond fascism exists, and we hold the pathway forward.
O Allah, grant us peace in our hearts and homes. Bless us with Your mercy and protection. Ameen.
Jummah Mubarak, y’all.
May Allah accept our dua’s and ibaadah.
Inara is our 100% Trans and Queer Muslim support line. This line is for LGBTQ+ and questioning Muslims to talk about any topic. Unlike therapy, support on this line is based in shared experience, not diagnosing you or telling you what to do.
Most importantly, we will NEVER call police or 911 without your request.
We are open today and tomorrow 5PM-11PM CT. You can reach us every Friday and Saturday during these times.
We want to give our community an opportunity to gather, connect, and just be together right before Jummah — like just as you would at your local mosque. This is also intentional for folks who don’t or can’t pray (for any reason) or want to be in a “mosque” space but still want to be in community!
You can join us TOMORROW and every second Friday of the month! Inshallah. 💠🌺💠🌺
We’ll host a discussion around topics such as halal dating, art & spiritual practice, wellness, and more. Let us know in the comments or send a DM for privacy what topics you would love to have discussed. We’ll have a chance for folks to connect in break out rooms before taking a pause to get ready for Jummah!
See y’all tomorrow! Inshallah.
