“Every ‘No’ is one step closer to a ‘Yes’.”

Welcome back to season 3 of the Sister Station Podcast! In this episode, I did a short Q&A, mainly chatting about poetry, writing, and trying to stay positive in the face of rejection, before sharing a short poem at the end.

Thank you to everyone who sent in a question. Don’t worry if you missed your chance to send in one this time; inshaAllah, I’ll be doing more Q&As like this one in the future!

As always, expect honest convos, a little laughter, and some food for thought!
