I’ve been sharing profiles of many incredible women from Alberta since ringing in 2019 on @the.sisters.project. Check out some of my most recent features from Calgary and Edmonton. Visiting those cities and meeting the folks in them was such a warm and fuzzy part of #thesistersprojectgoesacrosscanada

Despite my serious talking face, I had a great time speaking on a panel for @nccm_community’s “Beyond the Single Story: Strategies for Canadian Muslim Storytellers” retreat. Thanks @timajgarad for inviting me 💫

Celebrated one day late but it’s okay cause he’s my valentine everyday 💞

Last month I photographed the 30 passionate individuals who make up @civicactiongtha’s 2019 DiverseCity Fellows. Excited to share some of the portraits I took of this year’s cohort. ✨
