I never did get to formally share this, but I was selected as a Hawaii FoundHer 2025 grant recipient and I will be mentored as part of Hawaii FoundHer’s Cohort 4.

It took a lot of hard work and sleepless nights to get here. I am beyond grateful ✊🏾🩵

FIFA World Cup 2026.

Morocco absolutely ATE today.

They DESTROYED.

They SMASHED.

And, they showed up and showed out!

Grateful for this opportunity, Hamdulillah.

Today wasn’t just about futbol ⚽️.

Today was about identity.

Long before my son was born, I promised myself something. If I was ever blessed with a child who belonged to more than one culture, I would make sure they never had to choose between them.

Life doesn’t always unfold the way we imagined. His father and I went our separate ways, but one thing has never changed: my son deserves to know where he comes from.

He deserves to know that half of his blood traces back to Morocco. That the language spoken by his ancestors belongs on his tongue. That the food, the music, the traditions, the faith, the history, and the pride of the Moroccan people are just as much his as anyone else’s.

I refuse to let distance erase that.

I refuse to let time make him forget it.

I refuse to let the end of one relationship become the end of his connection to an entire people.

So I will keep taking him back. I will keep teaching him Darija. I will fill our home with Moroccan food, Moroccan music, Moroccan stories, and Moroccan love. I want him to grow up living it, breathing it, dreaming it, and speaking it. I want him to know that being Moroccan isn’t just something he inherited; it’s something he should carry with pride.

Today, we sat together in a stadium filled with thousands of Moroccans as Morocco defeated Canada 3-0 in the FIFA World Cup. 🇲🇦

I looked over at him as the flags waved, the chants echoed through the stadium, and generations of Moroccans celebrated side by side. In that moment, I realized I wasn’t just taking him to a soccer game.

I was taking him home.

Home isn’t always a place you’ve lived.

Sometimes it’s a place that has been waiting for you all along.

That was so fun!

It was Adam, my mom, and I’s first ever World Cup!

Mom and I aren’t Moroccan, but we just had to come out and support for Morocco and for our Adam, who is Moroccan 🇲🇦

So grateful we got to witness this historic event!

Mahalo nui and much aloha to Morocco!

A genuine reaction to Morocco 🇲🇦 scoring their second goal against Canada 🇨🇦

We are so grateful we got to be there to see Morocco write history!

DIMA MAGHREB 🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦

Also, we were surrounded by Canadian fans, so that’s why everyone else was quiet when we were screaming 😂💗🙈
