Mommying While Muslim

​Ya ever just look at someone and be like, I am so glad God put you in my life? I was a little concerned that I didn’t have any messages from Zaiba T. Hasan at 4am the day of the Mommying While Muslim/HAWA event. 5:30am is when she requested me to print bathroom signs. I had lunch with Uzma Jafri and Bronislava Shmilovich on Friday before the event and man, I needed Zaiba there to help me reel in the innuendos. 🙁
Event mode Saira doesn’t really have time for emotions and I held them in while Zakaria set up the booth for Team Watience and man, watching him school me on how things should be done was pretty awesome. The tears started when ADAMS BEAT starting singing at the gala. Watching Hurunnessa Fariad’s do her thing. MashAllah. Woman entrepreneurs, amazing performers, dabka and tatreez. Being asked how one can join the registry. ❤️www.bethematch.org 
I wasn’t sure if I was going to speak but when Uzma put her arm around me and asked if I was up for it…I felt determined to walk up on that stage in my Vans and not trip on my abaya.
Continuing this journey with all of you has been special and I truly thank MommyingWhileMuslim for ensuring that I continue to help others in honor of Hadi. 
Stay tuned.
