Looking back at 23 like a Historian
Whilst looking forward to 24 7 in this Gregorian
Yes I’ve been offline lately. Family, life and some winter work engagements have kept me busy. Got another intense month ahead. But so much to be grateful for this past year! So many firsts and achievements it’s ridiculous but also big blows and fortunate to be here alive and well. I won’t be making lists. All I know is I gotta get better at capturing some of my poetry moves and get stuff out the door this quarter. Look forward to whatever Allah has in store. Good, bad and ugly. Wish you well ❤️ Duaas to everyone going through it at the minute. There is a trial in every household. From Palestine to London and the rest do the world x

So many deaths lately. This one’s poetical.👑
Legend. From being one of the reasons I vibed with poetry young/got published in school to working with Ben on Life & Rhymes and following his works beyond. So much power and joy.

Some charities on the ground giving medical aid water and food supplies but how long before they run out?
15/10/2023
Not always possible in emergency situations to email individuals but I rate charities who show their presence on the ground and the work in action. These days links get generated left right centre and it’s hard to know if beneficiaries are receiving aid 100.
October so far has been heavy. Good bad and ugly. Personally and externally. Hope everyone is looking after themselves. Will share a poem and discuss on panel tonight from 7pm 🎤

🇲🇦 My most visited country in Africa and I’ve always felt at home there💯
Not because I’m from there but simply because I’ve had different reasons to be there and always enjoyed the hospitality and vibes out there. Sad to see the numbers rising 💔
Many charities are on the ground: https://muslimhands.org.uk/donate/morocco-earthquake/morocco-earthquake?fbclid=PAAabBJsUy4cmzrC0o1hl1zlBFmf2Y9HDPQ2nDG1rO22tEba15YVcL1MM_BIg_aem_ARH_JSOa5ohu7TRhKdFhHznfdvz4PjVJdeJNx5dXJP16WMbrEDtip2EPAu1nc1zymT0
