what happened last week - A video message from me

Hi,

Sham here. The VIP Membership starts this week, and I wanted to tell you my vision for the newsletter one last time... in a little unlisted YouTube video I made for you, only for you.

I spent my entire October in Kurdistan, visiting my hometown Slemani as well as Halabja and Hawraman. This trip reminded me of 2014, the year I wrote my very first issue of whlw. Back then and now, I wanted to become a journalist who is dedicated to underrepresented and underreported stories, voices and perspectives, specifically from Asia, Africa and the Americas. Nine years later, the goal is still the same.

You can count on me to dig for the news that didn't make it into your main feed.

By joining as a VIP Member, you're directly supporting news that burst our Western-centric bubbles.

Become a VIP Member now

Best,
Sham
