Homeland – Saffa Khan

Homeland – Saffa Khan

On the roads of my homeland, you will find queues of vibrant trucks and rickshaws full of poetry
Every Sunday, my family & I would go to our local Itwar Bazaar for fresh samosas in winter & sweetest mangoes in the summer.
Mama would spend a lot of time hand-picking garments to make clothes for us to wear on Eid.
I went to the smallest school in the city, but I was taught by the strongest women with the biggest hearts.
Every year, my siblings & I would impatiently wait for spring to celebrate the festival of kites.
This was my home of nine years: Mama's little jungle, our tiny secure bubble.
Despite not having electricity most days, or clean water, we made it work.
Thank you, Mama and Baba; home is wherever you are.

The Minutes – Tillie Walden

The Minutes – Tillie Walden

If I focus, it can boil down to minutes.
Minutes that built the world around me. I was 5.
I was different. I could feel it in my stomach. I was 13.
I was falling apart at the seams And you were right there.
I was 17.
I realized I was talented.
That I could do something not everyone could do.
So I leaned into it with all my energy, all my power, without really knowing what it all meant.
I'm 21.
And for the first time in my life, I'm looking back at who I was and seeing someone strong.
Someone who can't be stopped.
