Aida Azlin is a writer, creative, and a proud believer fiercely committed to serving and championing women from all over the world, and doing so mainly through the work on her website, aidaazlin.com. Every Tuesday without fail, she sends out a personally hand-crafted Love Letter to over 60,000 Sisters from diverse countries and backgrounds. These letters tell stories, share insights, and are her regular creative writing practice. Over the years, she has also found joy in making short Videos on YouTube about similar subjects of faith, empowerment, entrepreneurship, and living a creative and full life. Because she is a writer who also loves to talk, she also started a podcast titled 'The Aida Azlin Show' which is a series of frank conversations between her and weekly special guests. Aida considers herself to be a Singaporean through and through, but also calls Seoul, Tangier and London her other homes.
In this conversation, we cover quite a lot of ground. We talk about how Aida started writing, how it has changed over time, and her very specific routine that kickstarts her writing mode. We discuss how human connection is the most important thing in art and in life, made especially clear during the pandemic we are in currently, the idea of “humanity before religiosity,” and how practicing Islam relates to practicing art. Because we held this conversation during Ramadan and it is coming out during the final days of this sacred month, we also talk about Ramadan itself and how it can reset our personal intentions and open up more space for creative work.
