    Background

    Inspired by a conversation with a friend about her everyday struggles as a “teacher with immigration background”. Loved this reaction of hers.

    Much much later

    It’s quite embarassing, however, FINALLY after almost a WHOLE YEAR (!) I’m opening up my website. Being a perfectionist and working with a perfectionist makes a step like this quite hard.

    Check my blog entry for more information about my digital journey.

  • Grief

    Grief

    I pray for Deah, Yusor and Razan. I pray for their families. And I pray for justice.
    May there be less hate in this world.

    (You know, for me, this is not about “some” tragic incident that “just” happened to “some” Muslim family “somewhere” in the US. There are countless tragedies everyday. However, this incident here, unintentionally, has a political relevance – not only for my Muslim community – but for all of us.)

    Sometimes it’s necessary to calm down when you feel your overwhelmed with emotion.

  • Turn around

    Turn around

    Um.. how about turning around?

    I.Am.Sick.Of.Hearing/Reading.That.

    This is not just about demonstrations but any kind of “explicit denunciation” (which I have a problem with anyway considering global issues..).

  • Bad sign

    Bad sign

    Sometimes, having too much “inspiration” is a bad sign…

    Btw, I know there is much more horrible stuff going on in the world. These are just topics that affect me personally.

  • Worried

    Worried

    There are more and more populist far-right groups organizing public demonstrations against “immigration”, “islamization” etc. in various German cities. Some politicians call them “neo-nazis in pinstripe suits”, however, our Federal Interior Minister emphasized the need to care about these people’s concerns…

    What about MY concerns..?

    *PEGIDA = Patriotic Europeans against the Islamization of the Occident
    (What is a patriotic European?? What is Islamization?? What is the Occident??)

    News as well as my own work were quite depressing and full of worries. It was time for a positive doodle.

    Not discouraged

    No, I am not discouraged by that…
