This week’s #YoungPersonTuesday is in honor of my favorite #youngqueen, my lil sister Nella, and all the recent graduates! Nella graduated from preschool on Sunday and like all the other graduates this season, is absolutely destined greatness. I see so much in her and even at a young age, she has a fierce personality and refuses to let anyone block her shine. She is unapologetically herself and I hope that never changes. Stunt, sis! Keep it up, because there’s a world waiting to test you. And to all the other recent grads, remember this is your world, you have a place in it and no one can take that from you. #YoungQueenTuesday #youngqueentuesday #youngpersontuesday #Nellz
PersonTuesday is dedicated to the late Razan al-Najjar. She was a 21 year old nurse and volunteer medic murdered by Israeli forces as she was running, hands up, towards the wounded during a recent clash. Now I will not claim to know everything about the ongoing crisis between Israel and Palestine or the Israeli occupation of Palestinian land but I do know that young people are dying, have been dying for decades. They’ve been Risking their lives for what they believe in. Razan was brave. I hope her bravery can inspire us to never back down on our quest for justice. Let us lift her and all the young Palestinian activists up in love and support as they continue to fight for what is right. Check out this video of Razan, shot a few days before she died (
