I had interviewed Adnan Shaikh in October 2025 to discuss their approaches to storytelling and representation. Adnan's writing has appeared on many platforms, including Kazim Ali's edited anthology, On the Brink of Belief. In this podcast episode, they discuss the importance of writing from specific regional and religious positionalities. Additionally, they also share an expansive understanding of queer Muslim futures and their current project, The Ummah of Elsewhere.
