Oh my goodness I’m so grateful! The last week and a half since my birthday (22 July) has been so rich. I spent the day itself driving through the desert on a solo cross country journey. This was my second birthday in a row in the desert, a place this water baby has come to appreciate so deeply. Following the example of friends who claim an entire month to celebrate their own births I decided to just stay open, navigating the habitual awkwardness I’ve had around celebrating mine at all. I decided to receive, to associate this time with an extra openness to joy and discovery — and what do you know, they showed up! 🤩 This is me in hot hot hot Nevada, in front of the ice-cold, beautiful Colorado river, with Arizona on the other side. I soooo recommend driving across a country — especially if you could use a reminder of the vastness of this planet, that in Truth we belong to all of it and that it belongs to all of us. I didn’t forget the lines that have been drawn, or the mindfulness required to navigate our many misunderstandings and shortcomings. I just got a chance to remember the bigger stuff more. What a blessing!!! Many thanks to all who sent messages last week. I wish I could have responded to them all individually. Please know how much they and you have been appreciated.
I’m learning it’s always a good time to receive. It’s always the right time to feel joy. Nature is the definition of generosity and a reminder of our place in existence. There’s beauty even in dry expanses. Spirit is the ever-present, constant companion. It’s possible to not only step into the future with open arms, but also to gain new understandings of the past with an open heart. And of course, that magic abounds. Here’s to another year of life! Thank you for being a part of mine!

The way I sobbed watching this… 🙏♥️ I remember when I was a little girl and the Essence By Mail catalog used to come to our house. We couldn’t afford to order anything from it, still I drank in the images, not knowing yet how thirsty I was for them. I didn’t know the ins and outs of racism yet but I knew that seeing people that looked like me being centered so lovingly was not the norm. Around that time I would memorize the entire Little Mermaid movie, recite it on the phone with my dear friend (heyyy Gemma 💕) as we synched up our VHS tapes after school. So many of us related to the feeling of being set apart and wishing to be valued, validated, able to traverse worlds and belong. Around this time too I was spending my nights memorizing R&B songs that I could only find on AM radio (big up Star16 1590 and 1380 and 1150 oh my God the memories). FM did not play R&B and hip hop where I lived in Florida until I was in 8th grade and STILL only a little. I was an adult working model living in NY before I saw an interracial family in a national ad. I still remember the glee, like these girls: I SEE ME THERE! Sometimes I forget what a big deal it is. I go about my life as these gleeful moments of widening representation become a part of what feels normal to me, because it IS normal, it’s just not common. I’m so grateful for this reminder. Being seen and valued, centered and loved feeds the spirit. So many of us have rarely — or never — had that. And so many of us have had it so much it feels normal. Then when someone else gets it we feel deprived… Let’s *normalize* full representation of our human family. Let’s normalize celebrating when missing pieces start falling into place. Let’s normalize seeing wins like this as wins for EVERYONE — because they are. “She’s Black!” And now we’re all a little closer to whole. 🧜🏾♀️✨

Thinking so much about the intersection of racism and migration today as we witness their complexities in the face of war. I’m now feeling even more grateful to take part in this IG Live with @tahirihjustice — a secular organization based on Baha’i principles, dedicated to supporting immigrant women and girls fleeing gender-based violence. They do this with inclusivity around gender expression and identity, and by advocating “both for individual immigrant survivors and to change the systems that are complicit in the conditions of their oppression.” Their certainty that anti-racism is integral to this work is so powerful and gives me so much hope. This also happens to be during the yearly celebratory period Bahá’ís call Ayyam-i-Ha, when we give gifts, and enjoy fellowship and acts of charity and service. To honor that Jennifer and I will be making cookies together on the live. So please join us to listen, to ask questions, make or decorate your own cookies, or pray for two people who don’t do a lot of lives whose attempt at baking for one could provide some comic relief. 🤓🍪🔥🙏 We look forward to sharing it all with you. Love, Parisa

I’m looking into camera. Text: “We hope you will tune into our Instagram Live with actress @ParisaFH and Tahirih staff member Jennifer Jackson for a special discussion about Black history, Black Baháʼís, and Tahirih’s commitment to anti-racism. #BlackHistoryMonth

So grateful for another year on this exquisite planet. Thanks to all those who raised me. Thanks to all who have loved me, wished me well, encouraged me, taught me, partnered with me, inspired me. Thanks for the challenges, heartbreaks, and humbling experiences. Thanks for all the joy. The last year was filled with gifts, some strangely wrapped, some on silver platters. Thanks to all those who remind me to see and count and be grateful for them all. Wishing us all so much love. 🙏🤍✨
Image Description: Me (very tiny in the shot) sitting on a concrete block on the far left of a panoramic shot of desert, with hills in the background and a blue morning sky above. My hair is braided back and I’m wearing a gray sweeter, black and beige pattered pants, and black sandals.
Raised in the Bahá’í Faith I was always taught the beauty and transcendence of Christ and His teachings. To be a Baha’i was to also love Jesus and see His teachings as truth, affirming the oneness of our common Creator. I’m so grateful for their timelessness, and timeliness. This particular teaching… So simple. So challenging. So beautiful. How gorgeous that He never said where the neighborhood ended. Maybe we weren’t ready yet to comprehend living on a sphere, or to see that the (seemingly) uncrossable boundaries were all of our own creation. Praying that we catch up to this teaching. Praying that we see each other as one family. Praying that as we learn to be more loving to ourselves that it teaches us to love others more, and vice versa. As a dear sister of mine says: I love you. I love me. I love us. A joyous Christmas to all. 🙏🌟
“Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.” (22:37-39).

I’ve been auntied again! 🙏🥹💓💓 Feeling so incredibly grateful for these two wonderful souls. Rumi St. Ledger Fitz-Henley was born a week ago. I got to witness the miracle of his entrance via indomitable, kind, loving mama @koolkelsey with @fitztheworldcitizen backing her up and rally driving to the hospital like a pro 🚗💨 . And it’s been such a heartwarming experience to see big sister Anaya Soleil giving him gentle pats and strokes, and looking to him in concern when he cries. Shout out to Grandma Kim and Mimi Sally, coming through with so much support and wisdom. Some blessings are just pure sweetness. 🙏💓✨
Image description: Two slides with minor differences. Close on two year old Anaya, doting on newborn Rumi, who lies on white sheets sleeping. He wears a white onesie with his hands covered, she wears a white tank (and her hands are still baby-squishy with little knuckle dimples 🥰). In the second photo Kelsey’s hand is barely visible touching Rumi, and Rumi is a little more tightly snuggling himself.

“Are our freedoms in jeopardy now more than ever?
🕐 Today at 11:11 am EDT, we launch 16 unique “Four Freedoms” photographs as 1/1 NFTs on @assemblyprojects. First conceived by artists @hankwillisthomas & @forfreedoms and co-created by @emilyshur @ericgottesman and myself, these images reimagine Norman Rockwell’s iconic 1943 paintings based on Franklin D. Roosevelt’s four fundamental human freedoms:
FREEDOM OF SPEECH
FREEDOM FROM FEAR
FREEDOM FROM WANT
FREEDOM OF WORSHIP
In 2018, For Freedoms gathered friends, artists, activists, community organizers to reimagine these freedoms to embrace America’s diversity and multitude of perspectives. These images have an agenda too: To catalyze people who have felt left out to contribute their own voice to the political process. To stand for something, to speak up, or to just feel empowered to participate.
In our present moment, we see these images anew in our ongoing pursuit of justice. Each 1/1 NFT will unlock access to For Freedoms events in conjunction with our ongoing #AnotherJustice initiative. 20% of proceeds to benefit our upcoming launch of The Center for Justice at UCLA. Tap the link in bio for access.
