Calling children and grandchildren of the South Asian diaspora! Submit your creative work to Issue 1 of Samajh My Gal magazine, titled “Almost Ours”

Almost Ours is about the feeling of belonging to a time you never quite lived in.

It’s about old stories, ancient songs playing in the background, clothes and customs passed down until they quietly become part of you.

This issue brings both generations into the same space: those who remember, and those who inherit.

We’re looking for work that looks back through memory and history

That shows how that past is being reshaped in the present.

Where what was becomes almost ours.

Submissions are now open. The closing date is 6th August 2026

Founded by spoken word poet and writer Ayman Sabir, Samajh My Gal magazine aims to showcase and celebrate dual heritage South Asian people, cultures and mother tongues. Ayman joined Cultureword as a Creative Ambassador in May 2026.
