All I really know how to do in this moment is to listen, learn and share stories. Personal ones, in particular. And in this moment I cannot forget that there is extreme violence happening in Gaza. And real people, like Mkhaimar, are impacted.

ICYMI: I've been working hard on this piece for the past month or so: how a quirky desi food scene is growing on Roosevelt Road in the suburb of Lombard.... but one thing that's not coming there is traditional mithai and sweets. For that, Devon is queen.
