I did a thing!!!!
Fa inna ma’al usri yusra
With hardship, there is ease.
Quran (94:5,6) – the book of a believing Muslim.
There were so many challenges along the way but I believed in something. Something I thought was necessary & essential. Something I wished i had been given as a child – a vocabulary to help me discover & understand my own uniqueness so I set an intention & I kept going. This also meant being vulnerable enough to embrace the uncertainty of all of it.
Through the challenges i have learnt the value of kindness & the meaning of compassion. I better understand the importance of authenticity & remaining true to who I am at my core – even when it seems impossible. I pushed my own limitations far beyond anything I ever imagined for myself & most importantly, I had such fun @thelindenmarket – passionately marketing my concept & meeting other entrepreneurs.

There was an army of support that I didn’t have a year ago. I am so grateful for every one of my friends who showed up – with food, with time, with love, care, kindness & solidarity for a cause I believe so much in. This was the first time I did something like this, the @thelindenmarket team made it such a pleasant experience, giving me the confidence to continue pushing forward.
Also, @qaanitah purchased my 2023 Resilient Minds Journal but I wanted to ask her to autograph my copy. It took everything in me to remain calm and professional 😀
Thank you Qaanitah 💙
