Information About

Divanee Magazine




Founded in 2003 by Miral Sattar, Divanee Magazine was brought about to create a platform where the issues and concerns unique to women of the South Asian diaspora could be addressed. You can view Divanee Magazine at http://www.divanee.com

Divanee speaks to young women aged 16-33 about individuality, style,
and personality in the South Asian community in the US. It's about
finding a place, being irreverant, battling outdated cultural notions
and ideas. Sometimes it's just about getting a beauty tip. It's about
not falling victim to outdated cultural notions like marrying by a certain
age, picking a certain profession just because of your sex. We don't think
"Hey, I can't do this because I'm a woman." We just do.

We won't tell you how to attract guys or anything that will
make you demean yourself. We have stories of women who have battled
against fitting inside the 'desi cultural box.' We cover politics, music and basically
anything of interest to the young South Asian woman.

We dare to be different and we dare you to be a DIVANEE, crazy and passionate
about what you do without feeling guilty.

We test our limits. We aren't afraid of being judged. We just are. We try to reach out to our readers and give them the unspoken voice.

"It's about giving people a platform they never thought they had before."
