ETHNIC// Im selfish... I want my life to be all about me. All I want to do is spend my time with the people I want to spend my time with. All any of us got in this life is time. And I want all my time to be mine. I’ve spent enough of it on being smart and doing whats right. I just want to spend my days with the people that make me laugh and smile, and my nights with those that make me feel whole. This is my one life, I no longer want to live it for the future. I want it to be for the now. taken in Wuhan, China by @rvblv

LIFE// This was my first year at @mosquersfilmfest and it won’t be my last. This festival was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. Being surrounded by so many amazing muslim artists was not only inspiring but served as a reminder on why we are doing this. Media has always been a tool and stories shape perception. This was a reminder that now more than ever, it is imperative that we take hold of our own narrative. Be it TV, films, books or games. We’re coming for all of it. As the homie @localtaha said, our Renaissance is here.

The Homies// Meet @rvblv, writer, medical school graduate and anime fanatic. Dubbed The Vibe Coordinator, Abdullahi’s stories are rooted in his own lived experiences. Hoping to carve out a segment of popular media and steeping it in the realities of Muslims growing up in The West. Abdullahi will one day use these stories as a bridge for the diasporic generations to stay connected to home, to history and to themselves.

🎈// Where do I put it? I’m 31 today, and it has only gotten bigger. They said it would dim as I grew. They said I need a backup plan because the world will strip me of it. They said childish dreams fade through adulthood.

So I ask you again, where do I put it? It would splinter and break the wooden shelf where all my education sits. It would come bursting out the seams of the luggage that carries my history. It could not be contained in all the places I called home.

Am I the problem? Was there a step I missed along the way to adulthood? Did I walk out of childhood without following the proper exit protocols? Did I not empty my pockets correctly? Did I forget a little bit of my whimsy in my lunchbox?

If that’s the case, then show me where to return it. I’ll fill out the forms. I’ll pay the late fees, and I’ll drown whatever childish essence remains in order to comply.

But there is one condition. Just one. If met, I am willing to eviscerate this thing inside of me and hollow out my insides for the rest of my time here:
Find me an adult who smiles like a child. Sit them down in front of me and let them tell me that it took conforming to keep it alive.
Find me an adult that still has a twinkle in their eye. Sit them down in front of me and let them tell me that it took giving up on themselves to keep it alive.
Find me an adult with an unbreakable will. Sit them down in front of me and let them tell me that it took surrendering to gain it.

And if you can’t, then I implore you… please. For my own sanity.

Live authentically. Chase your dreams. Resist. Find your true purpose. Overcome fear. Hold fast to your beliefs.

I swear you shine different when you’re on your path. And I need your light. I need it more than you could ever know. by @rvblv

None if this would have been possible without everyone involved. It really does take a team.

BOW// It’s all in the moment. Hesitate and you’ll miss it. Blink and you’ll dismiss it. So never resist it.
