This year, I had the honor of attending the Grammy’s with @azadeh.afsahi @shivaspix and @saraseyed — to be present for the award given to Shervin Hajipour @shervinine for his song
“Baraye”. A song that has united Iranians across the world.
Thank you to @azadeh.afsahi for continuing to bring awareness to #toomajsalehi a rapper who is currently still in solidarity confinement for the simple act of his rap lyrics demanding justice for the people of Iran.
Thank you to @weareuia for staying in contact with the Grammy’s and Shervin Jaan throughout the evening and creating the opportunity for us to participate.
Thank you @azitamirjewelry for the beautiful human hair bracelet — Azita is an Iranian artist who collected the hair from women globally and created this piece as a symbolic armor against the Islamic Regime currently occupying Iran. The cuff bracelet is a symbol of female power and the fight for freedom, equal rights, and liberty.

Tomorrow is Iranian New Year, “Nowruz”. This Nowruz is more solemn than what we are accustomed to, but it’s actually very symbolic.
Nowruz translates to ‘New Day”. The
first day of Nowruz is celebrated on the spring equinox, usually around March 21st, and lasts for 13 days.
This year the exact time of the spring equinox falls on Monday March 20 at 2:24 PM Pacific Time.
Nowruz is celebrated by millions of people around the world, symbolizing renewal, rebirth, and the triumph of light over darkness.
Nowruz is not only celebrated in Iran, but also in Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Azerbaijan, some parts of India, Pakistan and even China.
One of the most recognizable aspects of Nowruz is The Haft Sîn table – a traditional table setting that is decorated with seven symbolic items that start with the Persian letter “sîn” or “s”, representing different aspects of life.
The items that make up the table are 7 of the following:
* Sabzeh – sprouted grass, representing rebirth and growth.
* Seeb – apples, symbolizing beauty and health.
* Seer – garlic, represents medicine and good health.
* Samanu – a sweet pudding symbolizing fertility and affluence.
* Senjed – dried fruit of the oleaster tree, representing love and affection.
* Serkeh – vinegar, represents patience and age.
* Somāq – Sumac represents new beginnings.
* Sonbol – Hyacinth Flower, symbolizing spring’s arrival.
And
* Sekkeh – coins to represent prosperity and wealth.
People also add a mirror, goldfish, painted eggs, and candles to the table.
Celebrating Nowruz is a way for Iranian families to come together and connect with their heritage.
It is a time to reconcile with those with whom we may have had disagreements, symbolizing forgiveness and a fresh start.
During the 13 days of Nowruz, people participate in outdoor activities, attend cultural events, and enjoy traditional foods. It’s also a time to clean the house, visit friends and family, and exchange gifts.
May this year be the year of freedom for the people of Iran. May the darkness of the past 44 years be left behind to usher a new dawn of renewal, rebirth, and the triumph of light over darkness. Nowruz Piruz.

Narcissistic people especially love to triangulate and talk 💩 about people behind their backs. If they are constantly gossiping about others to you, then pretend to be friends with those people, you can be a 100% sure that they also gossip about you.
It’s something else if a person was abused and needs to talk about the abuse they endured and is no longer in contact with their abuser and is confiding in you.
But if this person is a hater who then loves on the people to their face that they hate on behind closed doors. You can be sure they definitely hate on you in your absence.
Get rid of toxic people, they are devoid of spiritual nutrients. You are a flower and the soil you are planted in will determine the bloom you are able to harvest. Egypt, Africa
