"Women, Life, Freedom".

The most inspiring images from the World Cup for me appeared on the stands: the "movement" for individual freedoms in #Iran is led by women by supported by all.

#Birkenstock recently hit the headlines when Steve Jobs' old ones fetched an obscene amount of money in an auction.

Excellent article, a most comprehensive, and disappointing description of the state of world football today, from the rise of Abramovich to horrifying possibility of a future World Cup under MBS.

What a great read, what an inspiring movement!

Those who study history would know that this was bound to happen. Oppression cannot sustain. It's uo to the regime to show grace and humanity now...

I rediscovered Kabir, after some interesting college explorations, thanks to the work of Shabnam Virmani. Her "Kabir Project" has been a staple for me for years on my morning walks and long flights, and along with Arif Ali Khan's spectacular "Dream Journe…https://t.co/JTgTIpSHWz

Loved reading this, @TheRyanFord! Brilliantly articulated....

#sustainablefashion conversations. And am I #sustainable or not?

Someone met me and looked at my shirt and quipped, "doesn't look like you are wearing a "Sustainable" shirt! Are you not practising what you are preaching?"
