Eid al-Fitr

Students at UC Berkeley celebrated Eid al-Fitr, a major Muslim holiday that marks the end of the month of Ramadan, with food and loved ones.

May is National Mental Health Awareness Month, sparking conversations about resource accessibility and destigmatization among UC Berkeley health services, student-led organizations and the city of Berkeley.

The Berkeley Center of the Maktab Tarighat Oveyssi, or M.T.O., Shahmaghsoudi School of Islamic Sufism donated supplies to the Berkeley Food Pantry on Monday in celebration of Eid al-Fitr, an Islamic holiday marking the end of Ramadan. 

My brother still wasn’t back with our sheep, but I had to tweet this as early as possible. The devil works hard, but Islamophobes work harder. And I was right.

And while my dad couldn’t control the balance of my facial features, he did give me the one concrete thing he could — his mother’s name, Hafsa, and his family name, Tatah. He gave them to me so I was always aware of the family I was a part of and had something to show for it.
