In the last few months I’ve received 4 speaking invites:
•One to speak on the Black American experience—I said no & referred a Black scholar
•One to speak on Iranian women—I said no & referred several Iranian women
•One to speak on Arab American students—I said no & referred an Arab woman & activist
•One to speak on my experience in Turkey providing earthquake relief, on a panel with a Turkish scholar—I said yes

Lesson: You don’t need to be a voice for the voiceless—just learn to pass the mic.

“None of you is a believer until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself.”
—Prophet Muhammad(sa)

"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."
—Jesus Christ(as)

"What is hateful to you, do not do to others."
—Rabbi Hillel

"What you do not wish done to yourself, do not do to others."
—Confucius

Let us embrace our common humanity. Out differences are not a means of division or disunity, but of recognition and respect. Let humanity recognize itself. ❤️✊🏽

Keep Turkey & Syria and the surrounding nations in your prayers. Early estimates are 2600+ dead and scores more injured. This is being called the worst earthquake to hit the region in 500 years.

I'll be vetting and posting legit fundraisers as soon as I possibly can.
