Writing is how I process, it’s how I make sense of this perplexing, ridiculous, heartbreaking, awe inspiring world. This blog is my take-no-prisoners approach to empowering everyone to stand in their own glorious contradictions, to explore the world beyond their own comfort zones. If you spend any time reading my posts, I hope they challenge you, provoke you, cause you to reflect.
This is my journey to search the depths of my heart: one part sassy California girl, another part cerebral bookworm. Two dashes mystical Islam, and a pinch of entrepreneurial spirit. Always curious, striving to be intellectually honest. 100% hopeless dreamer.
