36 yrs ago our father left his home in Iraq and built us a good life based on sacrifices & hard work. It led us to become 🇨🇦 immigrants in 1999. Today was #match2022 and his birthday, and he is now a proud father of 2 doctors. I am so proud of my brother & sister! 🎉 #SGUmatch
Proud to stand up to hate with my friend @WaliedEsq There's much more to do, but step by step, day by day, we are making progress. https://t.co/gaqf6nl8jd
My aunt Susie passed away today at the remarkable age of 94.
All of the lessons she taught me through life, through faith and through family can be summed up in two simple words.
Be kind.
I don't know a single marginalized or racialized person who hasn't been taught this lesson:
"If you want to succeed in this world, you'll have to do twice as much for half as much, and they'll still try and take it from you."
But we just keep working, don't we?
This video was filmed a year ago. I didn't post it then because didn't want to give racist Kevin Johnston oxygen. What I'm not showing you is the disgusting, vile words he used to describe Muslims moments before. Today, a judge sentenced Johnston to 18 months in jail. 1/2
@Lbabinz My husband has been trying for MONTHS. All it took was me following you on twitter and BAM! He's going to get a big surprise soon thanks to this tweet! Thank you @Lbabinz!
Since #homesense is trending, I run a highly engaged “HomeSense Addicts” Facebook group/Instagram and we’re crowdsourcing line up info. You’re welcome. #ontario
@SharkawyMD Thank you for using your voice and speaking up for us all. My family has been subjected to racism and Islamaphobia and this tragedy has reignited the pain we have been suppressing. Thank you for bringing the community together.
@hidrees Thank you Huda, for lending your voice on behalf of the community. I am so proud to see so many Muslim Canadian journalists, healthcare workers, etc. speak up on behalf of all of us. You all have a following and can collectively form a better Canada for all.
@JustinTrudeau Oh but it does have a place in our communities and it is deeply instilled. Islamaphobia is very real and my family has experienced it first-hand in Canada. Can’t feel “at home” wherever we go. I no longer gush about Canada’s acceptance & multiculturalism. 25 years here. It hurts.
@intel_radar24 This is painful to watch. She was begging him to go inside. “Imad please, come inside, please close the glass door and come inside”.... I hope they are okay.
