Everyday Leadership
Inaugural Issue: November 2027
Leadership does not always come with a formal title or public recognition. It takes shape in families, mosques, workplaces, neighborhoods, activist spaces, creative practice, and quiet moments of decision.
Leadership is also the work that holds everyday life together.
Future Navā Themes
Why Navā/Voice Matters
Much of what Americans think they know about Muslim women comes from stories told about them rather than stories told by them. Navā/ Voice creates space for Muslim American women to narrate their own lives, name their own forms of leadership, and preserve experiences that might otherwise remain unseen.
We are accepting rolling submissions until January 2027. The theme for our next issue will also be on care as a form of leadership.
