Plan your life, period. If you decide kids fit in and won’t rake away from your existing lifestyle, then have them! Don’t plan to fit them in because you feel like you should.

Filmed with my dear friend Nadir from who taught me so much about the Ethiopian culture! Did you know Ethiopia follows a different calendar than the one most of the world uses? The Ethiopian calendar has 13 months—12 months of 30 days, plus a short 13th month—and it’s roughly 7–8 years behind the Gregorian calendar. How cool is that?

Ten years ago I ran from Chennai, from trauma and the constant pressure to be a “good girl.” I hoped someone would save me. When I got the chance at 25, I left and never looked back.

This time I came home to honor the part of me that stayed true to herself and survived. In a week I saw dolphins, revisited old haunts, reconnected with friends, and hosted a q***r meetup.

Snapshots of my healing:
1. I just think I look good in this photo (am I wrong?)
2. Rowing again after I quit 12 years because a stupid man cheated on me
3. Visiting the first apartment we moved into where my parents fought nonstop, with my husband
4. Creating q***r spaces with amazing people like after being closeted for so long
5. Running after dolphins on the beach (!)
6. Cafes with friends who kept me afloat during some of the most treacherous times
7. Meeting a sixth-generation herbalist saving the environment
8. Reflecting on how much freedom I have compared to older generations of women in my family
9. Collecting shells like a child
10. Shopping at and choosing exactly what I wanted to wear
11. Endless family rummy legacy tournaments just as my granny would have wanted
12. Relaxing as a family for a change (after 2 fights and a crying match on the drive over lol)
13. A nod to the young me who survived!!! Bitch you did it!!!

The men are going to hate this but telling women they’re good when they stay home and nest is a tool of the patriarchy. We need to be, quite literally, for the streets —- taking up space, travelling, building, advocating, organizing. Your life will become so much better when you tell realize that when you get out there and explore, your life becomes so much better!!!! GO BE FOR THE STREETS

When you tell yourself that you’re too late or that you should have achieved something by a certain age, you rob yourself of the chance to view every part of your life as an opportunity to do whatever you want. The best years are still ahead!

1.8 billion people have periods. When public restrooms don’t provide tampons or pads, the burden falls on individuals to plan perfectly for a biological reality they can’t control. That’s not equality. Menstrual products belong alongside toilet paper and soap in every public restroom.

Child free is a choice but so is having a child. The people who don’t see it as a choice, see parenthood and being a parent as a duty. I don’t blame you! Many societies, cultures and even the government see parenthood as an eventuality and not a choice which is why we’re have so many restrictions on accessing abortion and birth control. But parenthood is not a necessity or inevitability for human beings.

Making parenthood synonymous with morality and duty is trapping us all and further perpetuating the idea that we don’t have free agency over reproductive choices. We all do.

We can choose to have children or not.
We can choose how we want to spend our time caregiving.
We can choose when to have children if at all.
