“People can attack your character, but they cannot change who you are.
It’s easy to criticize, but what if we use our time to do something creative? To build something new?” - @simran#FreedomRising2024
Hena Khan has an exciting new anthology for our kiddos, and I'm glad to have a fun short story in it.
If you're around DC, come out to our launch event on April 22. We'd love to see you there — and I'll help ensure Hena signs your books!

Hi Friends,
Some of you know that I’ve spent the past few years leading the Aspen Institute’s Religion & Society Program. Grateful for this experience and excited for the next chapter.

I busted my ankle while walking. So embarrassing. I fell and I couldn't get up.
Over the next few days, the tinge of pain with each step reminded me of something I know to be true but typically avoid thinking about: Nothing is ours, not even our bodies.

My friend @supriyakelkar_ has written a beautiful book about the Kohinoor Diamond, colonization, and resistance. It’s beautifully written and the art is stunning – and it comes out today!

Fauja Singh was just over 100 when he told me his biggest regret: not doing more to inspire children around the world.
Today, on April 1, he’s turning 113 years—and we have a gift for him. His story will continue to inspire children around the world.

Since childhood, I'd dreamed of holding a plush with a patka. This past week, I received one in the mail as a gift—and I couldn't stop smiling.
I plan to give some out as Vaisakhi gifts and hope you will too!

What does it look like to honor our differences and cultivate robust religious pluralism while also boldly confronting injustice and fighting oppressive societal structures? @simran will explore themes from his book "The Light We Give" at next April's MCF: ow.ly/Eaah50QRHzT
What a trip! Back on the main stage at SXSW, this time speaking on how we bring compassion and resilience into our workplaces and into our lives. Packed ballroom and lines out the door signal that so many of us want to learn how to become more resilient and compassionate ❤️❤️
One daughter said the F-word in a crowded coffee shop. Later, the younger one said "I know the H-word."
What the &@#$ is going on?!

I've been offline for the past few months. Hoping to find more balance and to focus on impact, especially as our world burns.
Writing more these days and putting more of it online this year, mostly on substack.
