Parisa Fitz-Henley Instagram – 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 Image description: A screenshot of a Twitter post from @tahirihjustice. The photo is a closeup of me, a woman with medium brown skin and dark brown eyes and hair, wearing green.
