Welcome to The Cowation! My name is Jordan Alam and this is my personal creativity blog. It is a look into my world of writing, art-making, activism and inspiration. I live and work out of Seattle, Washington and am trying my hand at a freelance writing career after studying and working abroad. Rattling around in these not-so-old bones are many identities I hold dear, including being a Muslim and South Asian woman. My life currently revolves around exploring different forms of healing work. Since graduating from Barnard College in 2013, I've worked in a variety of wonderful spaces including: a doula organization, a women's health peer education office, a domestic violence agency, a zine library, a youth development program, and on independent research assignment in Bangladesh. On top of that, I am the founder and editor of As[I]Am, an arts and activism online magazine for Asian Americans.
