About us

Strange Inc. is a New York-based nonprofit dedicated to empowering Muslim writers and creatives. What began as a series of spoken word performances has grown into a publishing platform committed to authentic representation. We amplify the voices of Muslims who are often marginalized in mainstream media. Guided by faith, grounded in the Quran and Sunnah, we strive for truth, excellence, and lasting impact.

Our global community brings together Muslim creatives to drive positive change through art and reclaim their identities. Through initiatives like The Writers Block, The Strange Inc. Show, and our courses and coaching programs, we uplift these voices with authenticity. We aim to publish more books, support powerful writers, and share our lived realities with the world.

Testimonials

It was really engaging sincerely and I loved the acceptance, even when I was too shy to speak and you guys said it’s fine. Despite that I was able to engage in all the creative sessions through the chat box and it was an interesting experience. Just within a short time the sisters had a beautiful bond.

These sessions were a mirror into myself; it felt mesmerizingly beautiful being around sisters with whom I could connect on a whole different level. Gems were shared and lifelong memories were made. Alhamdulillah for The Woke Write Masterclass; alhamdulillah for, and jazakallahu khairan to sisters Aishah and Kashmir for initiating this exceptional course for Muslimah writers.
