Holding Space for Others Without Losing Yourself
There’s something beautiful about being the one people go to. The listener. The steady one. The one who picks up the phone, remembers the hard dates, and says, “I’m here” and means it.

Why Community Is the Medicine We Need
In a culture that idolizes independence, we’re taught that strength means doing it alone. That healing is a solo journey. That success is individual.

Celebrating Small Joys in a Big, Loud World

Mercy in Sacrifice
Eid al-Adha & Qurbani: Compassion in Tradition I know the idea of animal sacrifice can feel unsettling. Those feelings come from empathy – and Islam respects that empathy. Eid al-Adha commemorates Prophet Abraham’s devotion: according to the Qur’an, God provided a ram so Abraham’s son was spared. Qurbani (sacrifice) is done in gratitude for that mercy. We should remember that this act is meant as a profound ritual of faith and charity, not mindless violence. Islam actually calls on us to be kind to animals: “animals represent God’s wisdom and wonder, and humans are obliged to attend to their health and living conditions”. In other words, compassion is built into Qurbani, not ignored.

My Mother Was a Storm
My mother was a storm. Not a thunderstorm that rolls through and moves on. No, she was a tempest that lingered—quiet one minute, screaming the next. I learned early that sunshine was only borrowed time. Her moods changed like skies over open water, and I was a small boat, learning to sail by instinct alone.

What exactly is a ‘Karen?’
I have always found it fascinating how slang words appear from nowhere and become part of our common language. The term ‘Karen,’ or to put it in the correct context; ‘Oh God, she’s being a Karen!’ is one that seems both funny and offensive at the same time.
