As #EidAlAdha approaches, I'm reminded me of the sweltering, life-altering journey I made seven years ago to Mecca - a year that proved to be the deadliest in Saudi history.
I wrote this reflection one year after our pilgrimage.https://t.co/rD2P13PoSQ

The Earth is dying. Plain and simple. This is not a matter of controversy. It boggles my mind that we can’t come to this consensus.
I’m tired of being angry and sad. Change should’ve happened yesterday. Wake tf up.

@karonliu says when you’re a food reporter it makes you a well rounded person because it’s tied to identity, culture and history. #jrn106 #jchoolnow

Today I will be joining the Atkinson lecture in the RCC with @karonliu, who is a @JSchoolNow alum on the means to cover diverse foods in Toronto! #jrn106 #jschoolnow

Remote Learning in 2021 - @jackyhabib who is working in Kenya, said she would have not been able to facilitate workshops to women across Canada, and other work if remote learning did not exist. "There has been some good out of it" #jrn103

Lack of diversity in newsrooms - @angelynsayshi said when she got to @TheStar_news she was the only full time black women, other than some interns. It was very striking to her and something she sees Canada can do a better job on. #jrn103

.@salmaanfarooqui speaks on freelance writing, and says not to always go in that direction since you are always thinking about what the next job is. But, freelance writer @jackyhabib says that her schedule is very flexible and loves it. Time to try freelance writing! #jrn103

.@jackyhabib said to @JSchoolNow, "Fail your way to success". She encourages students to foster self-confidence in themselves and celebrate their failures! This is a great idea that needs to be taught more to students. #jrn103

[maya zaid @mzaid03]

.@salmaanfarooqui gives current @JSchoolNow
students a great piece of advice! He says meeting new people and creating great connections can help further students success in the field. If opportunity comes up, be prepared and tackle any fears that might be in the way! #jrn103
