“There would have been many advantages to staying in Pakistan — it would have benefited my father’s career, we’d be closer to my extended family, my Urdu would be way better, and the humidity would have put year-round bounce in my curly hair. But those were weighed against massive challenges: raising me and my sister in a very conservative society where our gender alone would determine what opportunities were available to us, perpetual political instability, our family’s lack of connections and financial access. Yes, they would have to restart their lives in another country, but they saw the possibilities for their daughters: access to healthcare, better schools, and a more predictable career trajectory. After all, Canada appeared to be a meritocracy in a way that Pakistan was not.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In their eyes, I’m a ‘full Canadian,’ an assertion that used to bother me, especially when I saw all the big and small ways it wasn’t true. But now, I can see that their staunch belief in my status as an equal citizen is what ultimately made me demand that equality. My parents knew everything wasn't in their reach, but raised me to believe it was in mine, which has made it so much more obvious when I wasn't being treated fairly. Ironically, it’s their insistence in my status as an equal citizen that drives me to demand that equality for myself and others.” - Sadiya Ansari @sadeyea.

All praises to the Most High, for all the love that is always sent my way. I truly am grateful. •
I would like to take a moment out to thank each and every one of you. You, who has been on this journey with me, who kept me up, pushed me, called me out on my shit, brought the caffeine support, the shawarmas, the moral support, let me cry, laughed with me, hugged me, kissed me, brought flowers and gifts the night of, for all my long distance loved ones who called me and sent me the sweetest love notes, who told me I could do it, who came out, showed all the love/support, and celebrated with me on 07.27.17

Special thanks to the good folks @makitabar for being so wonderful and easy to work with, for the amazing service, food and drinks. To @nationlessmind , for making all my hiphop dreams come true, and coming through with all my favourite beats and contributing to my night. To @vilhelm83 , for being the ultimate homie, and working relentlessly all night to capture footage and the evening smiles. To @totw , for donating the skateboards so I can make the final art piece. Lastly, to all of you that come out to show love and vibe out and contribute to the evening. Y'all the real MVPS. You know this and I know this.

It's World Poetry Day so here's a little verse for all my yoga tune up homies #rolltowin #ballin #spicylightning #namaste

Tenderness

So it seems like my serratus has been on hiatus
And that my TFL is in hell
Hoping to loosen up
Thank god for yoga tune up
