Dear Mother, The Quran says that paradise lies at your feet. You represent strength, resilience, and care. You are a great teacher, not only to me but to the many that have passed through your hands. You’ve taught me that representation matters, and not actively engaging in politics is what gives way to irresponsible leaders. We must all act as one unit or fall off balance. We can only make the right decision by getting involved, voting, and holding our leaders accountable for what belongs to us.
