Jungle ka qanoon hai!
Ya maro ya maar do!!
Fought four harassment incidents physically; knife, punches, chokes, whatever I could use....
That's what I teach them, ke surrender nahi karna, offer a good fight. If they damage you, leave them damaged too.

Samar Camp doesn’t just teach snow sports and cycling.

It teaches girls how to close brand deals, defend themselves from road harassment, survive outdoors and build a career.

“Because it’s going to happen - in offices, on roads, in mountains.”

Still cant digest this rebranded LUBPAK

I vividly remember its Nishapuri days

[Farhad Jarral @FarhadJarralPK]

“People in Pakistan don’t even know about Pakistan.”

Sajjad Changezi (@Changovski) - Hazara, from Quetta - arrived at UET Lahore to study and was asked if Quetta was near Peshawar.

If we don’t know ourselves - how do we tell the world who we are?

This is what Let Us Build Pakistan is for. @LetsBuildPK

[Let Us Build Pakistan #LUBP @LetsBuildPK]

@geronimouh LUBP has always been about Pakistan’s untold stories.

The platform evolved. The mission didn’t.

Welcome back. 🇵🇰

[Let Us Build Pakistan #LUBP @LetsBuildPK]

“لوگ مجھ سے پوچھتے تھے کہ کوئٹہ پشاور سے کتنا دور ہے۔”

Sajjad Changezi - Hazara, from Quetta - arrived at UET Lahore and discovered that his own countrymen didn’t know his city, his language or his community.

Pakistan’s biggest narrative problem isn’t abroad.

It’s at home.

[Let Us Build Pakistan #LUBP @LetsBuildPK]

When the former USIP Country Director for Pakistan calls Sajjad Changezi inspiring - on a podcast about building Pakistan - that is the conversation this country needs to be having.

.@Muslim hit 12 million because a 27-year-old built what didn’t exist.

Pakistan hosted history. A volunteer wrote the ‘Islamabad Talks’ Wikipedia page.

The infrastructure gap is real.

We are building it. @LetsBuildPK

[WIRED @WIRED]

Ameer Al-Khatahtbeh was just trying to find an outlet for Muslim news. Now he has more than 12 million followers. https://t.co/tF0nhyXENd

[Farhad Jarral @FarhadJarralPK]

“Olympians before us ended up as waiters and rickshaw drivers.”

@SKhanAthlete on why social media is the only infrastructure Pakistan’s athletes have.

No federation. No government support. Just followers - competing with dancers and influencers for sponsorships.

Every government office took @SKhanAthlete from room to room for 3 hours and said “we don’t understand what you want.”

@AseefaBZ first question: “What can we do for your sport?”

That’s the difference between a generation that gets it and one that doesn’t.
