Hi everyone

I’m Salma - a comedian, writer, and the host of The Secret Sex Lives of Muslim Women, a podcast dedicated to sharing honest, nuanced, and highly taboo conversations about identity, sexuality, culture, and healing.

This podcast exists because so many of us grew up without a space to speak openly about our experiences. Through interviews and solo episodes, I’ve been creating a platform where Muslim women (and beyond) can be seen, heard, and understood - without shame.

In less than one year and 16 episodes in, the podcast has garnered millions of views across our online platforms. As the podcast grows, so do the production costs. Studio time, recording, and editing all add up, and I’ve been funding this independently so far.

Our goal is to release two episodes per month. Studio costs are $225 per session (including an audio engineer and raw video recording). This does not include editing, promotion, social media, or the administrative work required to keep the podcast running.

We are currently raising $5,400 to cover essential studio costs for the year and sustain consistent production.

Your support directly allows this work to continue: more stories, more conversations, and a space that so many people have already told me they deeply need.

If you’ve ever resonated with the podcast, shared an episode, or felt seen by these conversations, your support truly means everything.

Thank you for being part of this with me

With warmth and love,

Salma
