What It Is

My Name is Salama is a personal blog hosted on WordPress.com. The author calls herself Salama and describes herself as an “ordinary” Muslim girl. The main content currently available appears to be the About page, where she explains why she started the blog: she originally wanted to write a book before turning 30, but ultimately chose to use a blog to record small observations, everyday stories, and reflections on faith.

Core Features

Its core purpose is not to provide tools or services, but to express personal ideas and experiences. Through personal storytelling, the author hopes to show Muslims as ordinary people and respond to stereotypes shaped by discussions around terrorism, Islamophobia, and related issues. The site supports basic WordPress.com features such as following/subscribing, comments, login, and sharing to X and Facebook.

Pricing

Based on the information available on the page, the content is free to read. There is no mention of memberships, courses, ebook sales, or paid subscriptions. The subscription feature appears to be a WordPress.com post-update notification rather than a commercial paid product.

Pros and Cons

Its strengths are sincerity and a clear theme. By emphasizing “humanity” and everyday experience, it helps readers understand the life and inner world of a Muslim woman from an individual perspective. The WordPress.com platform also makes basic reading, subscribing, and sharing relatively convenient. The downside is that the currently visible information is limited, making it hard to assess the size of the archive, update frequency, or long-term maintenance. The content is also mainly in English, so Chinese readers will need some language ability. As a personal blog, it lacks structured sections and a professional editorial process.

Who It’s For

It is suitable for readers interested in personal essays, religious and cultural observation, women’s self-writing, and cross-cultural understanding. It may also be useful for those studying online personal narratives, Muslim identity expression, and communication that challenges stereotypes.

Access from China

Because the site is hosted on WordPress.com, access from mainland China may be unstable. Some resources, login, subscription, or social sharing components may be restricted. Static pages may occasionally be accessible, but overall it should be considered “partially restricted.”
