[6][7] Gümüşay started a blog in 2008 entitled A foreign dictionary, in which she wrote about the internet, politics, society, feminism and Islam until the end of 2019 and which was accessed up to 13,000 times a month.
[9] The specialist journal Medium Magazin then voted Gümüşay one of the "Top 30 to 30" most promising young journalistic talents in Germany.
At the initiative of Daniel Schulz, head of department at Die Tageszeitung, Gümüşay told her stories from the world of a German Muslim woman wearing a headscarf in the regular Taz column Das Tuch from 2010 to June 2013.

[15] In 2010, Gümüşay co-founded the EU-funded network Zahnräder, which aimed to provide a platform for Muslims from business, politics, media, academia and the social sector to get to know and support each other.
