Someone said not to post about #Gaza here. But I think every space should carry this grief. I’m posting my face because this is personal. It’s #human. What’s happening is #genocide. And silence now isn’t neutral, it’s betrayal.

i feel helpless. my friends do too. watching a genocide unfold in real time and not knowing what to do, it breaks something in you. the situation in #Gaza isn’t war. it’s mass murder. silence isn’t neutrality. it’s complicity. if you feel lost too you’re not alone speak up anyway

What’s happening in #Gaza is not war. It is genocide. Deliberate. Public. Unfolding in real time.
Starved families. Bombed children. Erased bloodlines.
This is not complicated.
It is mass murder.
Look away or speak up.
Silence is complicity.
#CeasefireNow

History is unfolding before us, and too many stand on the wrong side—silent, complicit, or indifferent…

do you all see my posts?

Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, Gaza doctor who stayed with patients after losing his son to a drone strike, was arrested by Israeli forces. His courage silenced, his story a warning: targeting healthcare workers is a war crime. Silence = complicity. The world must act. #Gaza #WarCrimes

28 years ago, I arrived in Toronto, a child bride in an unfamiliar world. Snow fell heavy, the air smelled of coffee, and I felt lost. Every Christmas Eve, I remember that night. I’m well now, but my thoughts are with women still searching for their way forward. #MerryChristmas

Khaled, soul of your soul,
soul of a people who still rise.
#Gaza

Khaled Nabhan, soul of my soul, carried grief with dignity—a father, grandfather, and giver of hope in Gaza’s ruins. They killed him, but Khaled was never just one life. He was Gaza’s pulse, a witness, a reminder: love endures. His people mourn, but they rise. #KhaledNabhan #Gaza
