maybe it can be hard to live up to our values 24/7 (something something consumption under capitalism, Allah forgive us) but working at Lockheed M*rtin as a muslim… as a somali… you most certainly need to be called in by your people

providing a different perspective on age, and honouring elders + their contributions to our lives was my goal with this piece. truly appreciate the chance to write about my ayeeyos (grandmas) for this issue!

Like in so many immigrant households, @heyfurqan grew up surrounded by elders. In this personal essay, she describes the role that the elders play in her community, and how we can best care for the people who raised us, during and beyond the pandemic.

Weird how when they want to portray Somalis as pirates or terrorists they make sure the actors are Somali but all of a sudden there are no Somali actors for this. Can they just leave us alone? We don’t want representation 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️

it’s his birthday, it’s black history/futures month, enduring anti-blackness in education left and right… there are many reasons that bring him to mind today especially, but yes i do think about him often.
