Dear Sumayah an advice column exclusively available to my paid subscribers, where I answer your questions. If you have a question you’d like to be answered and featured in a future installment, you can ask it here.

I’d love to hear your thoughts, your reactions, and your stories in the comments section.


Dear Sumayah

Where did you come upon your calling? How did you get into it? I wonder how you made your way into this work.

Thanks

R.


Maranta, the Prayer Plant, getting a little sunshine.

I never spoke about some of the things I’m sharing here publicly before. You have become my trusted inner circle. My answer is part of a longer back-and-forth with a friend who I used to be incredibly close to but had fallen out of step with over the years.

Honestly, I am a little nervous sending this to you guys—but it feels like the right time. So here goes nothing, Bismillah!
