OTHER WRITING

Since 2015, Uzma Jalaluddin has written a biweekly culture and parenting column for The Toronto Star, Canada’s largest daily circulation newspaper. The column focuses on the comedic and heartfelt aspects of parenting as a second generation Canadian; sometimes her columns also delve into commentary on pop culture and education. Favourite columns include the one about her husband’s long-time nemesis, a local raccoon, her son’s experience delivering the weekly paper, and Uzma’s thoughts on life as a very busy parent with too many jobs. 

In addition to writing for The Toronto Star, Uzma usually has several other writing projects on the go – some of which she can talk about, and others that are still in the early stages of the creative process. Uzma has contributed an essay to The Atlantic, and she is currently working on a play for the Silk Road Institute, a Montreal-based non-profit dedicated to promoting art and Muslim representation within Canada.
