Step Baba

I was around three when my mother met him. He said I took one look at him and hid behind her dress. I peered around as he reached down to pick me up, frantically screamed and did a wiggle move out of his arms. That was the start of our relationship. My father (technically step-father), Halil, grew up in rural Turkey. He worked hard and was eventually offered a full paid scholarship to the University of Basel in Switzerland. That... Read more

Advice: Dating a woman with a past

Last updated on: November 3, 2014 at 11:16 am By Posted by The Editors

Dear Love, InshAllah: I’ve met a girl I really like. We have been good friends for a while. She and I are both Muslims, both born in a Muslim country, but raised in America. I really like her however, she had (relatively) many sexual relations prior to meeting me. She has never been married. In fact, she never even dated the guys she had sex with – they were just flings and so forth. I know that this is common... Read more

Oh, The Places You’ll Go

Last updated on: November 3, 2014 at 11:16 am By Posted by The Editors

Sometimes love is a place. But only if people you love defined that place for you. There’s a scene at the very end of the movie, Amelie, where Audrey Tatou is sitting on the back of a motor scooter, her arms around the driver’s waist, driving along the streets of Paris dappled in Indian summer sunlight. The lighting is exquisite. Melodic accordion music plays in the background as she hurtles down those streets, and the narrator intones, “September 28th, 1997. It... Read more

Speak Softly and Carry a Big Stick

Last updated on: November 3, 2014 at 11:16 am By Posted by The Editors

I’m the kind of person that tries to block out painful, embarrassing memories. Recent media attention on sexual assault and violence against women made me realize that victim blaming runs deep in our societies – and within ourselves. After hearing many women give voice to their awkward, strange, or traumatic experiences, I felt compelled to share my own story of what I call “politeness gone wrong.” My mother lives by the mantra, speak softly and carry a big stick. She... Read more
