When I entered the Petra complex I was given a Jordanian keffiyeh to tie around my head and neck to protect me from the sun and sand. The red color, I was told, was popularized in Arab culture by the Bedouins during the British colonial rule as a symbol of honor and tribal identification - a symbol of resilience. The keffiyeh is everywhere in Jordan, a garment woven into the tapestry of cultures of the Arab World. It was an honor to sit in the magnificent presence of a stone monument of history, cup of sweet Bedouin tea in-hand, while wearing a small piece of history myself.

This Earth Day I’d like to pay homage to the most humbling encounter I’ve ever had with Mother Nature: seven days of incessant rain, wind, mud, isolation, and illness - but to be rewarded with a place above the stars. Last photo in the series courtesy of @ravellelaurette

It was an incredible honor to finally travel to Beijing and visit the campus of Schwarzman College at Tsinghua University, my master’s degree program alma mater. The COVID-19 pandemic and the barriers erected in its wake prohibited my class from experiencing a life together at the school. While I was able to rationally acknowledge my association with this program, I was never able to develop an emotional attachment to the physical geography of or understand the value of social proximity in a place so definitive to a chapter in my young adult life - that is, until now.

This next collection of hand-selected personalized Persian poems is by Parvin E’tesami ❤️ We thank everyone who contributed to our crowdfunding campaign earlier this year, without you we could not make Firewall! We are one month out from shooting! 🥰

Parvin Etesami (1907-1941) was a prominent Iranian poet known for her modernist poetry that blended traditional Persian forms with contemporary themes.

Etesami’s poetry often explored themes of love, social justice, and the beauty of nature, reflecting both her personal experiences and the socio-political climate of her time.

When the purple ties and scarves come out - you know you’re in for a memorable time.

In early March, I had the privilege of travelling to Tokyo for the inaugural @schwarzmanscholars x @asiasociety seminar for #SchwarzmanScholars alumni. Across two days at the International House of Japan, we had the chance to engage with a variety of speakers on a range of issues - from regional peace and stability in Northeast Asia, to digital and sustainable cities, to cyber development and AI governance, and even the interplay of zen and technology.

Beyond the seminar’s content, I’m most grateful for the opportunity to connect and reconnect with #Schwarzies new and old. Community is so important - and it’s incredibly affirming to meet with others who are living their careers in a fearless and impact-driven way. It’s been an important reminder that it’s ok to be unconventional and trek off the beaten path - so long as you hold a conviction of what you want to work on, and are willing to commit to staying the course.

Many thanks to the Schwarzman Scholars and @asia_policy teams for an insightful convening.

To many more inspiring gatherings ahead!
