Mehlam Bhuriwala (he/they) is a born-and-raised Houstonian with a passion for community-building and uplifting marginalized identities. As a Pakistani-American Shi’a Muslim coming up in the Deep South, he has personally experienced the lack of resources, agency, and diversity in representation affecting Muslim communities and is driven to provide spaces for healing and growth for his fellow Mumineen.
In his free time, you can find Mehlam cooking, watering his ever-growing houseplant collection, or turning the pages of his latest fantasy book obsession (currently neck-deep into S.A. Chakraborty’s Daevabad Trilogy)!
