All my love to the people and experiences that have shaped me, particularly in the past year. I thank Allah for all of the people who I have had the great fortune to brush against in my short life on this earth, whether as friends and family or as those who have touched my life […]
A goodbye video I edited for the Washington Bus. The time has come again for yet another one of my famous exits. The hours are counting down until my flight into hurricane-ready NYC and I am reflecting on every last moment of my summer in Seattle while simultaneously worrying about how my father and I […]
