About
Nisaā is a word pronounced with the open a, as if saying it to the air. It comes from the Arabic, in my opinion one of the most beautiful and raw languages—it transports me to other lives.
“Nisāʼ” means “women,” and although many people might not know it, the reality is that it is the name of a chapter of the Qur’an. Surah An-Nisā’ speaks about honoring and protecting women—as wise beings, as mothers, and as valuable members of society.
Across many ancestral and spiritual traditions, women have been seen as mirrors of the Earth—cyclical, wise, and generative. From Pachamama in the Andes to the rahm (womb) root shared by divine mercy in Arabic, the feminine has long embodied creation, intuition, and care. Women are not only protectors of life, but also its first artists—carrying stories through chant, ritual, poetry, and movement. In this way, Nisāʼ is not just a word—it is an invocation, a thread that ties language, spirit, and the Earth itself into the soul of the feminine.
This journal, magazine, platform has been created to honor, share, and support women who are creating an impact on society today—through art, activism, healing, community-building, education, technology, motherhood, and storytelling. It serves as a space of inspiration for women around the world—not to follow in anyone’s footsteps, but to awaken the courage to follow their own.
