I Just Turned 29 — Here are 5 Things I’ve Learned The Past Year

My last year in my twenties and I can’t help but feel older and I guess a bit wiser. When I was younger, I had the notion that when one reaches 30 years, they are actually really old. I don’t feel really old. But I do feel like time is…

Some Words of Wisdom From My Grandmother

I grew up hearing my dadi (paternal grandmother) say Allah kisi da mohtaj na banaye Na veliyan da, te nahi aulaad da May God never make one dependent; neither on those whom one loves nor on one’s offspring I’d wonder why dadi would say that Why this became the prayer…

Parent In A Way That Makes Sense To You

It’s taken me 1.5 years to learn this the hard way. I’m here to tell you why you should parent in a way that makes sense to you as opposed to experimenting with everyone else’s opinions on what will work on your child. As a parent, you don’t need to know everything. I know many of us have the…
