FROM AN AFGHAN ARRANGED MARRIAGE TO A 10-YEAR LESBIAN LOVE STORY

This week on The Secret Sex Lives of Muslim Women, Salma sits down with Spozhmi, an Afghan-Canadian woman, to share her journey of discovering her sexuality, falling in love with her partner of 10 years, and choosing herself in the face of cultural and familial pressure.From being taken back to Afghanistan for an arranged marriage… to secretly building a relationship with a woman… to coming out to her family twice - first through a handwritten letter, and years later again over the phone - this is a story about love, identity, and the cost of living your truth.Later in the episode, her partner Taylor joins to share what it’s been like navigating this journey together.A powerful conversation on love, belonging, and breaking generational patterns.To learn more about Spozhmi’s work, visit lovenaturally.ca HELP KEEP THE POD ALIVE FOR 2026, DONATE TO OUR GOFUNDME: https://gofund.me/f646f3082 CREDITS:  Host & Creator: Salma Hindy Executive Producer: Salma Hindy Written By: Salma Hindy Edited By: Salma Hindy Artwork: Rana Omar© The Secret Sex Lives of Muslim Women, 2026Instagram: @thesecretsexlivesofmuslimwomenYouTube: @thesecretsexlivesofmuslimwomenHOST'S INSTAGRAM: @salma.hindyHOST'S TIKTOK: @salma.hindy
