Happy Women’s History Month and Ramadan Mubarak! 

Ramadan is a month-long fast observed by Muslims. It is also my favorite time of the year. It means family, patience, intentionality, and community. When I think of Ramadan, I imagine the neighborhood coming together to pray, celebrate, laugh, and build memories.

It is a tradition to set goals for the month of Ramadan. In Islam, we are taught that any habit can be made or broken in a month. For previous Ramadans, my goals have been journaling, meditation, and creative writing. My goal this year is to stretch every morning.

For this Ramadan, I want to challenge the entire neighborhood to come up with a goal for the month. You can choose any habit or skill you want to build or some you might want to break.

Respond to this email with your goal; we would love to hear from you. 

Ramadan Mubarak, Rainier Beach.

See you in the neighborhood! Be well!

Peace and blessings,
