It’s not everyday you get to wake up and see your words in print 🥰 I wrote “Homesick” a while ago, and I think for me it symbolises the struggle of having your heart in two different places and trying to find a balance. Thank you so much @spokenstage for putting this together and giving us spaces to express ourselves and our art! The organisation is celebrating 10 wonderful years with the release of this anthology and it is now yours to have and hold.

The launch of “Word Salad” takes place on Friday, the 23rd of May, at Club 432 in Zamzama (Karachi) from 6.30pm. Head on over there to get your copy! (PS: my heart’s in k-town today ❤️ @mariamrp @shameneh ) taken in Karachi کراچی by @spokenstage
