Sumaiya Ahmed

A lifestyle, opinion and sex-positive writer, aiming to break down the boundaries of cultural stigma and shame attached to mental health and sexuality within the South Asian culture and bring marginalised topics to light.

Sumaiya has amassed a collaboration with BBC Asian Network’s Group Chat and appeared on their radio twice, speaking about Islamophobia, as well as HIV testing and the lack of conversation on sex from the South Asian community. She has previously written about sex in relation to both culture and religion, the questioning of faith and interracial relationships, amongst many other vital topics.

 Sumaiya is passionate about sex education, and PCOS. She has also published two poetry collections, Lost and Found and Reality.
