Well this was fun! Thanks for having me @cbcthenational to talk #EqualPay #WoSo and the struggles of women footballers around the world. #Alhumdullilah #muslimwomeninsportsmedia #sportsjournalism #sportsactivists #sportsmedia (at CBC Toronto) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzwiH4rgGpG/?igshid=1kmamnr99muak
Spent a large part of today at @cbcradio with Matt Galloway and Devin Heroux (and later Reshmi Nair) to talk @raptors , #RaptorsParade, and what what this win means to everyone. #WeTheNorthDay was unprecedented and the crowds were enormous. We were on the air for 4.5 hours. Laughed, opined and followed the ongoings. Enjoyed the caller named “Faiz” who turned out to be my son! Thrilled that @kianurse joined the conversation. Because she’s awesome. I participated in media covering the celebrations which means that I was part of Canadian sports journalism history. Honoured. Excited. Blessed. In the words of Kawhi Leonard: “Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha.”
Thank you @farenet for hosting INSPIRE- an amazing conference on refugee women in football. It was an honour to be there among tremendous grassroots activists, academics, and people in government to listen, learn and share. I met some sheroes, made new ones, and was blown away by the folks working so hard to use football as a vehicle to better the lives of so many. Hanging out with the crew of @lesdegommeuses in the old city was a highlight! And the pierogies were fantastic, as expected. Obviously I was repping @burnitalldownpod the entire time. #sportfordevelopment #farenet #welcomerefugees #refugeesinspire #muslimwomeninsports #media #sportsjournalism #sportsmedia #football #womensfootball #womeninfootball #eatshiroeat (at Warsaw, Poland) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrAAqp_g_jS/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=112vf4vutvykl
