ARC 1: On Motherhood Print Edition

£28.00

(PRE ORDER) Welcome to the first issue of Listen Journal.

“On Motherhood” gathers the voices and lived experiences of women of colour as they navigate one of the most layered and transformative human journeys.

Through long form essays, “In Conversation With” and poetry from writers across the global majority, this issue holds space for the nuances and honest realities often erased from mainstream narratives.

Inside, you’ll find writing on fertility, ageing, grief in its many forms, disability, queerness, inheritance, community care, single motherhood, mental health, and the everyday tension between joy and overwhelm. These stories move across hospitals, kitchens, ancestral altars, childhood bedrooms and quiet moments of reckoning.

Choose between the Print Edition, designed as an anthology to read slowly and archive, or the Digital Edition, a high resolution PDF that preserves the full visual design for on the go reading (or get both!)
