Thank you @collectivehub for the three page feature spread on my work and Tehran Streetstyle book in your last issue! 🙏What a cute surprise to come back to! Photo ft. my first home-cooked meal back in Chicago, at 11pm heh. (at Chicago, Illinois)

THANK YOU #NYC for being so amazing! 🙌 Just flew back to Chicago for 5 days to run through 4 events and 2 shoots then off to LA & the Bay to finish up April's Tehran Streetstyle book tour! Chicago events have been announced & California events continue to be slowly released! Tap the link in my profile for all the details (and to see more of this editorial photographed by @d.chae!). Can't wait to connect with you :) (at Chicago, Illinois)

From the #findourgirls protest hosted by #blacklivesmatter in NYC this past weekend. It's not a proper trip without a proper protest. ✊ Also unfortunate coincidence as I post photos from this protest that body of Sheila Abdus-Salaam, 65, the first Muslim Judge and first African-American woman to be appointed to the state’s Court of Appeals was found floating on the Hudson river this morning in NYC. May she rest in peace & power. تظاهرات blacklivesmatter# در نیویورک بعد از چند دختر سیاه پوست  مفقود شدند و دولت امریکا اهمیت نمی داهند بخاطر این که سفید پوست نیستند. این کشو نژاد پرست است. و اولین قاضی مسلمان و سیاه پوست امروز کشته شد. (at Charging Bull, Wall Street,Manhattan)

"But, one of the most important things I've learned from my time in Iran and the Middle East & North Africa is redefining my relationship to productivity: being productive more than just in a capitalistic, individual economic sense, but being productive for myself, my relationships, and my community too." excerpt from my latest piece on self-care on JooJoo Azad - link in profile! 📷: @d.chae (at New York, New York)
