So proud to be your mom Kinza ❤️

"Being a mature child is an oxymoron–I wasn’t mature, I was traumatized."

Read @KinzaisTyping's personal story about how she learned to overcome childhood trauma https://t.co/OH25e7N7O4

One of the best pieces I've ever read! Thank you for your strength and vulnerability @KinzaisTyping

[kinza zafar @kinzaistyping]

Writing this story was a challenging yet rewarding journey. I'm super passionate about using my lived experience in my journalism and I'm beyond ecstatic that my story could be part of the women issue. This is the first of many personal pieces to come!

[Samra Zafar @iamsamrazafar]

You inspire me and make me so proud every single day. Thank you for being you @KinzaisTyping

@ClooneyFDN @MichelleObama @melindagates @luscombeland @TIME How can I get involved? As a child marriage survivor, I've dedicated my life to advocating for gender equity as a physician, author & speaker. It's long overdue we put this atrocious practice to end. I'd love to contribute in any way.

[Samra Zafar @iamsamrazafar]

12 million girls annually are forced into marriage & robbed of their future. Over 600 million women alive today were married off as children. I am one of them. I applaud this initiative & would love to get involved. It is long overdue we put this atrocious practice to end

[Samra Zafar @iamsamrazafar]

I need your help! Does anyone know anyone or anyway I can get in touch with this initiative? I'd love to get involved (for reasons explained below).

[Samra Zafar @iamsamrazafar]

Child marriage is one of the most common yet most ignored atrocities in the world. Even in progressive countries like Canada and most states in the US, child marriage continues to be legal.

[Samra Zafar @iamsamrazafar]

@AirCanada won't help with @Aeroplan bookings either. I don't care if it's an hour long hold as long as I can at least speak to someone!

[Speakers Spotlight @SpeakersDotCa]

Healing starts with unlearning everything we’ve been told about suffering. After escaping a decade of abuse living as a child bride in Canada, @iamsamrazafar has become a beacon of hope. Watch her new #TEDx talk here: https://t.co/ACYxRePPRz #keynote #inspiration #grief

[Samra Zafar @iamsamrazafar]

@RumeetBillan @WOIGlobal @CarrieKirkman It goes both ways my love. We brag about you ALL THE TIME! So grateful to have you in my life ❤️

[Samra Zafar @iamsamrazafar]

As a starting point, I encourage you to read the Truth and Reconciliation Commission Report, learn about the 94 calls to action, and think about how we can contribute to the healing process.

It's the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. A day to honour the children who never returned home, the Survivors of residential schools, their families & communities.

[Samra Zafar @iamsamrazafar]

Let's not just stop at orange shirts. Let's take the time to educate ourselves by learning, listening, reflecting, and understanding from a place of true allyship. Let's be an active part of the healing process.
