It came full circle this morning as I caught a glimpse of myself in the car, looking more sun kissed than usual because I had experimented with a new bronzer. Indeed, people, myself included, pay lots of money for this. Alhamdulillah. — PolitiTweet.org

It took many years, some heartache, and lots of courage to accept what my dad taught me. We are beautiful however Allah makes us. — PolitiTweet.org

Zahra Billoo @ZahraBilloo

My dad would tell me seriously, Allah judges us for our piety, not our skin color. He’d tell me jokingly, “white people pay lots of money” to brown their skin. “No, daddy, they don’t. For this?” “Yes beta, it’s a whole industry. They have sprays and they sit outside to bake.” — PolitiTweet.org

On the Pakistani end, there were conversations about lightening creams and not spending too much time in the sun. On the American influence, well, let’s just say being American was understood to have an upper limit on melanin, which I far exceeded. — PolitiTweet.org

Zahra Billoo @ZahraBilloo

For so many years as a first-generation immigrant child, I complained about my brown skin. Society, both the Pakistani and American influences I was immersed in, told me I needed to be lighter in order to be pretty. https://t.co/KkeHltIRo6 — PolitiTweet.org

For everyone talking about wudhu, let me tell you: per my unscientific polling of @Minder_App and @muzmatch, more Muslim men have beards than pray five times per day. — PolitiTweet.org

More germs than dog fur though! That’s epic, especially for Muslims. Next time a “marriage prospect” (is that the appropriate term?) takes issue with my cat, I’m showing them this article. — PolitiTweet.org
