Maniza Khalid manages programmes and innovations at The Queer Muslim Project. As a writer, editor, and witch based in Delhi, they revere cats, pagan Arab goddesses, and niche subcultures on the internet. Language is their tool for magic as it has given to this world sensuous poems about violets, bad yet memorable lyrics, and words to describe the aroma of coffee.
