[LINK in B I O] Celebrating Mexistani Day on 8/31 was DOPE AF - I always look forward to connecting with other folks who are also Mexistani - who trust to share their experiences with me and who also want to connect and build community around shared narratives. Looking forward to showcasing some phenomenal humxns in upcoming blog posts. 🇲🇽❤️🇵🇰 After Mexistani Day, got interviewed and featured in SDVoyager! A recent mentee of mine said, it's the invisible steps that folks need to hear about, they are the easiest to take for granted. Here's to sharing the invisible steps while prepping to share #Mexistani the series! 🇲🇽❤️🇵🇰 thanks @sundeepmorrison for referring me to them! 🙏🏽 #mexistanilife #MexistaniMondays #mexistanikid #mexistanikiddo https://www.instagram.com/p/CFH7Ba3p5pM/?igshid=wrrvsjbt2bq6

❤️ T A G a mixed friend or couple ❤️ I am celebrating Mexistani Day today. Over the years, it's been traumatic to be made felt like I wasn't Pakistani enough Mexican enough Muslim enough Catholic enough It got to a point where I had enough & that point ended up being on this day several years ago. 🇲🇽❤️🇵🇰 I used to celebrate on my own, cuz I thought it was silly. But after sharing more of my stories, I realized this was much bigger than me so I started sharing my Mexistani stories w/ the world through live performances & filming. Thanks to @teatroluna @TanyaSaracho & @nilsareyna for helping me get started and the other womxn that continued supporting my storytelling journey @thejosefinalopez @casa0101 and @soaringsoloartist 🇲🇽❤️🇵🇰 Throughout today I'll be sharing various slices of my life from how my parents met, growing up in a Black'a'Rican hood in Chicago, the police, times in Pakistan + Mexico, my involvement in politics, gov't, education, tech, Hollywood... ...and a sprinkle of Oreos and pepperoni 🍕 🇲🇽❤️🇵🇰 Turn on your notifications, RT this thread, enjoy the journey + we'll laugh at my pains together. It's definitely been a bumpy but hilarious ride...from the rearview mirror! 🇲🇽❤️🇵🇰 Also Mexistani is under pre-production to be a series and then film! If you are interested in being a part of the journey, please DM. I am open to holding time + space w/ producers, networks, directors, writers, filmmakers who are interested in collaboration in telling these narratives. 🇲🇽❤️🇵🇰 #mexistani #mexistanilife #mexistanikid #chingona #AJUA #mexstanimondays #mixedkids #mixedkidsrock #mixedchicksrock #mixedchicks #intercultural #multicuktural #interfaith #mixedrace #qtpocartist #bilingual #bipocactors #shesepuede #sisepuede #mexistanizindabad https://www.instagram.com/p/CEkAZ6YpbE6/?igshid=11cthvwn5rqcj

[TAG a friend or couple who's mixed!] The middle point between Pakistan's Independence Day + Mexico's Independence Day. #mexistaniday mañana baby! ❤️ It's a day where I'll highlight some of the various experiences I've had throughout my life. But this time I'm also sharing the stories of other folks who are also mixed. After receiving so many DMs and emails after last year's Mexistani Day I built Swerve + Swirl a lifestyle blog at the intersection of life's sharp turn, mixed race, queerness + wellness. Excited with the community that's been building around it so far. Let's keep going and let's keep laughing and healing. ❤️ #qtpoc #mexistani #MexiStaniLife #mexistanikid #mexistanichica #tellyourstory #shareyourstory #interfaith #multicultural #sociology #mixedrace #latinxasian #latinxsouthasian #bipocartist #bipoc #mixedkids #mixedcouples #bicultural #biracial https://www.instagram.com/p/CEhNXJ3p1UG/?igshid=cp2z06tt6gaj

About last Friday...😍😭😍 The day started out rough AF, there's an issue I had recently been experiencing that had affected me so much to the point where I have a bald spot in the back of my head from losing so much hair from stress. 🧘🏽 The day progressed, I got to hear about some folks whom I mentored getting jobs, opportunities, reviewed some phenomenon projects and I just kept remembering to breathe. 🧘🏽 I was grateful to be around family @ambermomedia and great friend Aimee and it helped me to stay present and focused on my heart. ❤️ The day progressed and my beloved @lvbze asked me to dress nice for dinner...really? Like "I'm goin' thru some THANGS woman! But fine, I'll wear a nice top, but I'm rockin' flops n yoga pants PLUS it's that time of the month so..." 😭🥵🔴 🤣 She had me and my sis close our eyes and walk outside for "dinner" (she didn't she was in on it!) Little did I know that she was going to surprise me with her proposal 😭 I had already been in and out of crying all day, what's a couple more tears right? 😭😭😭😭 I was a hilarious mess y'all. #mascaramadness ❤️ I've spent this week reflecting on this wild dynamic chain of events to relish the tender moments, learn the lessons and maintain perspective. It is crazy to know that when we started dating, same-sex marriage wasn't legal yet until 3 years later on June 26, 2015 🏳️‍🌈...it's been a long journey, we've had our ups and downs, we've grown stronger personally and professionally, we are some jovial ass mofos since our personal hardships have taught us that life is short AF, we've only had 1 argument since quarantine started and enjoy making each other laugh with our own lingo + queerdo quirks all day everyday. ❤️ Many folks have been sayin' "Dang! It's about time" but actually it was the perfect time. My heart was such a mess earlier that day, massive hair loss...I can only imagine how my partner must've been feeling...like uhhh 🤔🥺😬🤐😳🤯 do I even pop the question to this lady? And if now now then when? So to all of our friends & family sayin' it's about time, I say...my love, it was the PERFECT time @lvbze ❤️ Thanks for saving my heart and safeguarding my soul. ❤️ https://www.instagram.com/p/CEKlv17puH1/?igshid=x3233vdhwoix

#fbf❤️ guess which one is me 🤪 when the hood I grew up in got a lil cray cray, our family bounced to the Tip'o'Texas...bordertown to Matamoros, Mexico -- side note: why this city is STILL called Moor Killer in Spanish is beyond me. 🤦🏾‍♀️ We were there for a couple years and these friends were the ones who were there for me when my fam got me engaged at 15. 🤯 Thank you to my ol'skool bestie @idance30 for sharing these gems...good times! 🎉 #igotfriendsinlowplaces #wherethebeerchasesmybluesaway #illbeok #partyon #thevalley #tejanas #mcallen #brownsville #corpuschristi #tejasvibes #texanvibes #ajua #bidibidibombomchingonas https://www.instagram.com/p/CDm3EJ2Jz6I/?igshid=1u7d7cbxemenr

I believe in our women empowering women challenge. This challenge also came around the time that the Emmy nominations were announced and I'm in a basket of feels right now. 💜 Being queer, mexican and pakistani has placed me in a lifetime role of checking to see if whatever group I'm in is being inclusive...some see it as a cool superpower, but sometimes it bites me in the nalgas. 🍑 Like when I was younger and part of a Mexican student group, we had access to free phone privileges while other Latinx groups didn't, among other things, I spoke out and got bit hard, not just hard...HAURD in tha BOOTAY. It was tough but it was the right thing to do and I did it even after getting hate mail for being a half-Mexicana leading a Mexican student group. lawd-jezus. 💜 Whenever any kind of award nominations come out, I'm like ummmm, yo checkit so if folks like @ser_anzoategui from @tanyasaracho @vida_starz gets a nomination where do they go? real talk! and why wait till non-binary folks get nominated? Why not create the space now? We are waiting forrrrrr...whut. 💜 To my actor friends here, do we feel comfortable accepting an award in a platform that hasn't created space for everyone? including non-binary folks? Real talk, right now, I don't. Am I the only one feelin' this? Speak out below y'all. 💜 I do thank my fierce female queens for tagging me on the #empowermentchallenge but I would also LURVE to elevate this challenge to be inclusive of our non-binary peeps. Inspired by a recent challenge by a casting director, I challenge folks here to follow 5 non-binary folks on the 'gram and shower them with some of your DOPE LOVE, comment on their recent post. Biggest of hugs'n'kisses y'all! 🥰 #Humxnsempoweringhumxns #theiraward #theiremmy #theiroscar #elevateeachother #nonbinaryactors #qtpocartist #bipocactors #bipocartists #qtpoc #empowermentchallenge https://www.instagram.com/p/CDh58IBpKvr/?igshid=1x8vlteqdfej

Thanks @zahracomedy for sharing this! ・・・ You can always delete yours and give the photo-space to THIS (cause no one reads a caption) #Repost @kqedarts ・・・ Black-and-white selfies of women with the caption “Challenge accepted,” along with the hashtags #womenempowerment and #womensupportingwomen surfaced all over Instagram this past week. ⁣ ⁣ But what was a light-hearted expression of female solidarity in America was originally, in Turkey, a campaign inspired by both the soaring rates of violence against women and the brutal murder of a 27-year-old student named Pinar Gültekin. #sayhername #breonnataylor https://www.instagram.com/p/CDXLzJeJsmc/?igshid=5piz3r0hpwbh
