Mashallah 🥰 Ramadan is just over 2 months away, so I figured I should post the Eid Al Fitr flics that have been sitting in my drafts since March. Also, I just wanted to feel like a princess today and Eid fits always so the trick. P.S. What were @zineb_awwad and I talking about in the last 2 slides because man we made it look interesting 😂 taken in Beacon, New York by @najahknows

un petit late w/ this one 🥰 Summer Performing Arts With Juilliard 🎭🎶Year 3! In July I wrapped up my 3rd year on the MT faculty for this wonderful program & it was truly a memorable one. It was a gift to work alongside such talented and passionate faculty members, who shared their expertise with our Musical Theatre cohort in such a palpable way. It was also a gift to experience students whose hunger for this was so strong, they made it a joy for me to show up every day and teach / direct. Special shoutout to my Wind cohort for not only keeping it breezy, but for showing up authentically & leaning into the spirit of collaboration and “the why” of it all. I can’t wait to see what each and every one of you go on to do & hope that you will remember to tell your stories unabashedly!!! I genuinely miss you all!💜💨💙 by @najahknows
