Do you struggle with getting your work seen?

Moda Chic Magazine, Issue 15, @megha_fitnesssavvy

"I am so grateful to be featured amongst such talented creators. I am deeply thankful and blessed for the unique, special, and amazing people in my life."

Creative work deserves space to be seen, explored, and taken seriously. Through editorial features and digital publication, Moda Chic Magazine has connected contributors with new audiences, meaningful conversations, and greater visibility across a growing community of readers and creatives

The thing is, it doesn’t have to be this way.

What began in a bedroom in East Texas with a laptop and an idea gradually evolved into a global digital publication connecting contributors and readers across India, England, Jordan, Australia, Ireland, the United States, and beyond I would not have believed you. As the magazine grew, so did the range of stories, experiences, and perspectives shared through its pages.

To date, Moda Chic Magazine has collaborated with women from diverse cultures and backgrounds, publishing conversations and narratives shaped by creativity, ambition, reinvention, identity, and modern life. Each feature continues to reflect the publication’s commitment to creating space for stories that might otherwise go unseen.

If you would have told me ten years ago...

Moda Chic Magazine was created from a growing awareness that many women’s stories, perspectives, and lived experiences were becoming increasingly overshadowed within modern media. In 2016, while reading through mainstream fashion and lifestyle publications, Minahil noticed how much space was devoted to advertising, trends, and performance - while authentic narratives felt increasingly absent. That observation became the foundation for Moda Chic Magazine: a publication centered on perspective, identity, creativity, culture, and contemporary womanhood.

Minahil Erkin is the founder and Editor-in-Chief of Moda Chic Magazine

About the founder

Born in Pakistan and raised in the United States, I carry the heritage of Turkic-Uzbek, Uyghur, and Afghan roots. That cultural tapestry continues to shape my creative and professional life. With a Bachelor’s in Health Sciences and a Master’s in Health Administration, I’ve always believed in blending intellect with art. As both an artist and a writer, I’ve showcased my work in local exhibitions and published poetry now available through Barnes & Noble — each piece a reflection of identity, empowerment, and expression.
