Newsletters

Our quarterly newsletters serve as a tool for keeping our partners, community members, and other organisations informed about the work we do.

They provide an overview of our activities, highlight key achievements, and showcase the efforts we are making to address pressing issues and support global majority communities.

Thank you for taking the time to read our newsletters. We are excited to update you on the various projects and initiatives we’ve been working on over the past few months. 

We believe that sharing this information not only keeps everyone updated but also fosters a sense of transparency and collaboration.

November 2025 Newsletter

A drawing fills the open pages of a notebook. Two powerful, expressive portraits—one of a Black woman and another one of a hijabi woman—are surrounded by frantic, handwritten thoughts and symbols. The scrawled text, including phrases about "the pain of trying to be a peaceful soul" and "suicidal thoughts," conveys a deeply personal and emotional turmoil. The image captures a moment of raw vulnerability and honest reflection on identity, struggle, and the human condition.
