"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly," Martin Luther King Jr.
I'm working on new blog I founded over the summer called the Interfaith Youth Activist www.interfaithyouthactivist.org, where I'm designing a program for youth bloggers from different religious and non-religious backgrounds to blog and share their faith journey and interfaith perspective! Over the course of being a blogger with IYA, the youth will get virtual lessons on blogging, social media, interfaith leadership training and connect with speakers from various faith/non-faith based orgs?
Take a look at it and let me know what you think! :)
Profile Information
- What religion or spiritual practices did you grow up with?
- Sufi Islam and meditation from Ananda Marga. Also, I took a lot of family field trips to other faith celebrations and cultural events. So, I have been more "bi-lingual" in spiritual practices, meaning that I think that there are more ways to be spiritual than just one.

Today We Are All Sikhs- NOH8
Yesterday was somewhat of an emotional roller coaster for me and my Sikh friends. As many Sikh's are from Punjab- the same region in India/Pakistan that my family is from, I've always been drawn to other Pakistani's and Indian's from Punjab. Hence, I have many Sikh friends. Being Punjabi is pretty much like being from Texas, it's a predominant identity first regardless if people are from Pakistan, India or religious differences. Hence, it was shocking and devastating to hear about the Sikh…

Empowered UUCA Youth @ Justice GA
I'm sitting on our delayed flight home with our UUCA youth delegation in awe of the actions we took and the results we got in the last five days of the General Assembly. Not only was this one of the best GA's that I've been to, but it was probably the BEST way to introduce youth to a GA. It's social justice and action components are naturally attractive to the young millennials in our group. As a group we overcame our trials and tribulations, and discovered a powerful force within us to make…

BTW - while I'm thinking of it, I don't know if Jeff has gotten around to tell you but we're encouraging him to look at GMU for college (one application, anyway) and specifically at the ICAR program due to his interesting in international affairs, mediation and conflict resolution. If you get the chance to tell him a little about the program/your experience sometime this year, that would be great.
Thanks!
