She has travelled and lived in countries across the world since she was a child, and calls home wherever water is near. She is fluent in French, Wolof, English, and can hold a conversation in Spanish. Aïcha likes to drown in waters that look like pages, and sound like melodies, and scintillate like multicolored art. She writes about womanhood, culture, identity, mental illness, race, about loving until it hurts (and spoiler alert— it often does). If it has a pulse, in short, she will write about it. Aïcha is a member of the African Speculative Fiction Society and the Editorial Freelancers Association. Find more of her personal essays and critiques on her other website, Maelstrom. https://www.amartine.com/voice-work daily 0.75 2021-06-07 https://www.amartine.com/readingsfeatures daily 0.75 2024-06-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8267aa61fa2721e4a3ad9c/559400ef-7c1b-4912-b58d-f83924b9141b/432739628_377477688512230_8625802020925126406_n.jpg Features/Awards https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8267aa61fa2721e4a3ad9c/b9964c77-e746-4d00-b16a-9a96e933075d/Issue_7_Instagram__Launch_Party.png Features/Awards https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8267aa61fa2721e4a3ad9c/5b60360f-f86f-4d12-8dd5-7f35254f5108/aicha+thiam+EVENT.png Features/Awards https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8267aa61fa2721e4a3ad9c/4b04de64-f3f7-431e-abe8-8352dff862bd/Concordia.png Features/Awards https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8267aa61fa2721e4a3ad9c/1623090572162-RY7P9P2QPTK3P0MF3OCV/download.jpeg Features/Awards https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8267aa61fa2721e4a3ad9c/1623090010634-ZLAMM41VGK6OFIRO2TID/unnamed.jpg Features/Awards https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8267aa61fa2721e4a3ad9c/1616642666970-MH6O81ZIYCVNL1NGGYKS/Boca-Banner.jpg Features/Awards https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8267aa61fa2721e4a3ad9c/1608403068325-Q9DHRFD749KPNXU0BAE9/66W1kepQ_400x400.jpg Features/Awards https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8267aa61fa2721e4a3ad9c/1607303451729-DL0KX1MW3BAXX966XZVL/download.png Features/Awards https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8267aa61fa2721e4a3ad9c/1607302769749-XJUEE5NBQEHIAIBRS5JF/download.png Features/Awards https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8267aa61fa2721e4a3ad9c/1608403258467-W3QUIBXWFZ4XW17DWO8K/1500x500M.jpeg Features/Awards https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8267aa61fa2721e4a3ad9c/1606695694304-8VWWL3BKCQQPGT37D5V6/The-Nasiona-HUMANIZE-THE-OTHER.png Features/Awards https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8267aa61fa2721e4a3ad9c/1606695236002-XHCLIL9CETEVRFPHUKKX/download.png Features/Awards https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8267aa61fa2721e4a3ad9c/1606695127965-AJK8H0MAUXMQ9XOVMZZ2/DreamPop-Logo-Small+%281%29.jpg Features/Awards https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8267aa61fa2721e4a3ad9c/1606692588866-2RI6POVGSXLKIZNDJSKN/download.png Features/Awards https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8267aa61fa2721e4a3ad9c/1606692091721-RGP97T32Z47ODS2TE4RD/EWMDH9aUcAEEe18.png Features/Awards https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8267aa61fa2721e4a3ad9c/1606691654426-Z0T4AGCV3MZ9UAVUUUWN/download.png Features/Awards https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8267aa61fa2721e4a3ad9c/1606691391464-UGF2GSLE1BO2F0HUZAJQ/download+%281%29.jpeg Features/Awards https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8267aa61fa2721e4a3ad9c/1606690391834-S1IWLOBNZ1YVXPV298IV/HajyEME3_400x400.jpg Features/Awards https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8267aa61fa2721e4a3ad9c/1606689799175-FULVKWZQS094D5KC7QSL/download.jpeg Features/Awards https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8267aa61fa2721e4a3ad9c/1606689845462-DLBHLU82GPE3YWGULIPU/12265772_549149598571220_1062718403122907590_o.jpg Features/Awards https://www.amartine.com/books daily 0.75 2024-06-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8267aa61fa2721e4a3ad9c/b6814385-e023-4c58-8304-4ef48ea9de77/Ai%CC%88cha+Martine+Thiam+-+to+bring+you+my+love+-+cover_1.png Books - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8267aa61fa2721e4a3ad9c/d87af44c-1e1b-4f2f-8924-0bcbdfe43740/Thiam_Ai%CC%88cha_Martine_COV-em.jpg Books - BURN THE WITCH (FINISHING LINE PRESS) Aïcha Martine Thiam’s Burn the Witch is a book-length magic show with a host who knows her tricks. […] And even in her vulnerable moments, even when the pain becomes too much, Thiam’s speaker casts another spell, says “I am a woman who can hold it together hold it together / hold it together” until the reader is mouthing along, until we say it enough to believe it. –Taylor Byas, Assistant Features Editor for The Rumpus, and author of BLOODWARM and I Done Clicked My Heels Three Times Aïcha Martine Thiam’s Burn the Witch is an incantation, a furtive glance, a maximalist reframing of a speaker that defies limitations. Like all strong witches, […] She’ll swallow cyclones, she’ll magic a little world that shuns. Watch yourself, reader. Do not undervalue what plants in these deep, solitary woods. In this brilliant book, Thiam constructs “a Universe unto herself” amid the constant threat of disappearance, of “conditional bullet talk,” of the violence of everyday life as a Black woman. If you know what’s good for you, you’d better start listening. —Jessica Q.

Readers are taken aboard into a microcosm where wonder meets waterlogged torment and self-harm; where grief, euphoria and longing coexist; where womanhood is as joyful and dizzying an experience as it is searing; where peeling the layers of cultural identity is like plunging into the most opaque and briny deep. While the act of remembering has solitary, melancholy tinges, Aïcha Martine Thiam’s pen never wavers, nor does it stray far from the impulse to bear witness, to do justice, and to connect with kindred souls.” September 2021 Cover art by Joel Amat Güell https://www.amartine.com/dont-be-precious daily 0.75 2022-06-17
