Six years ago, almost to the day, I became Editor-in-Chief of Muslimah Media Watch. I was nervous and excited to follow in the footsteps of MMW’s founder, Fatemeh Fakhraie. Being able to lead such an incredible team of women has been a huge privilege. I am so proud of the work that MMW does in challenging narratives about Muslim women and asking difficult questions about gender, religion, race, colonization, sexuality, and so many other issues.
Eren and Krista in Toronto last spring. Selfie taken by Eren, of course.
It is now time to pass on the title once more. I am thrilled to announce that Eren Cervantes-Altamirano will be taking over from me as Editor-in-Chief. Eren is one of the smartest and most critical writers I know, and she has been a dedicated member of the MMW team for many years. I am so excited to see where she takes the blog, and I hope you will all join me in welcoming her to this new position and wishing her all the best in her new role.
I’ll still be around doing some editing and hopefully some writing too, so you’ll still be hearing from me! Thank you so much to all of our writers and readers for your contributions and support over the last few years. I am so grateful to be part of this community.
All my best,
Krista
