Since 2021, I’ve believed Afghanistan is becoming the next Iran—an Islamic regime enduring under sanctions.

Women will fight erasure, but the Taliban’s legitimacy paves the way for more fundamentalism, threatening the universal project of human rights.

I’m going through a phase of being obsessed with bolero… specifically Trio Las Sombras.. so beautiful. ❤️

My 'Roman Empire' this week: when a European student at Oxford told me, with the straightest face, that he was studying politics because he wanted to be a famous politician.

I laughed. He didn't.

It’s troubling when policymakers from elite institutions, insulated from crisis, dismiss "emotional" interjections. For those who’ve endured hardship, emotion reflects lived experience and life-or-death realities.

U.S. process: send us 1 pdf scan of your proof of study
Canadian process: send us a 7 page document by mail, by both you and the school, then also get the school to call us and confirm again over the phone, then wait 12 weeks

Canada.. why must everything be so complicated?

The Taliban’s ban on women reading in public and praying aloud with each other may seem peculiar, but it’s calculated—an attempt to suppress the inevitable nationwide fight for emancipation led by Afghan women and girls.

It cannot be stopped. It is only a matter of time.
