After 6 hours on the phone w my doctors office, lab, hospital and insurance company, I found out a blood test that required a prior authorization didn’t actually need it. 3rd parties profiting and interefering with the patient-doctor relationship RUIN American healthcare.

People may tell you that you can’t do something because of the way you look, dress, or pray. Your name may sound different. Never forget that you are extraordinary. You are powerful, brave, and clever. Great things come from people like you. —Saira Mir #WomensHistoryMonth

Hanging out with the physiatrist

IN MY MOSQUE by @mo_yuksel and Hatem Aly: lyrical words and moving illustrations capture the soul of the Muslim community nurtured within the mosque’s four walls. It’s a year since I’ve been inside a mosque and this gorgeous book is a reminder of the love that awaits.

What’s better than a body positivity book? One about body hair that my little boy adores. He requests LAXMI’S MOOCH by Shelly Anand 🍉 and @ab_varaham daily. While we read, he strokes his silky, little mooch with joy.

This week's #WomensHistoryMonth featured book is "Muslim Girls Rise: Inspirational Champions of Our Time" by Saira Mir. This book highlights Malala Yousafzai, Shirin Ebadi and many more influential Muslim women. 📘 #BooksForABetterLife
