Sufi Sun a South Asian Pakistani Queer

Sufi Malik aka Sufi Sun born and brought up in a Pakistani Sunni Muslim family in New York. She is a photographer, poet, an art teacher, and a lover. She left her family at the age of 17 to live her real own version of Sufi, doing everything on her own for herself making her own chosen family and community.

It was not as smooth as we can ever imagine to come up with a thing which is so unacceptable to our own family that they can disown us for that or whatever and the so-called crime she has done to be a "gay" or "queer" but it was not her choice to being a queer it is how it is.

And I am so glad that she didn't give up at any point in time in her journey. And came up as the icon for many Asian queer youths who still are not able to collect that courage to be open about their sexuality to their family friends and so-called society who never ever be there for them unless they do have some needs.

Apart from all this, she is such an impression on many of us who just believe in LOVE and nothing else, by the way, you should not need to be Queer or Homosexual to believe in just LOVE because love has no gender in reality if you think about it. If you try to look at her closely you will find out "how one can be so broken and at the same time the full of so much love".

You will find the touch of the Sufi sun in everything which she does whether her photography, her poems, her painting, her love for blue, her love of Sufism, or her love for her soul mate Anjali Chakra. She will make you think about what are you doing with your life, are you living it or not, and it is the real way in which you want to live your life.

She will make you think to find the purpose in everything you are doing and how are you contributing to your society. She is the epitome of love, courage, pain, and sunshine.

"I taste the fear of being alone,

Heavy on my tongue

I can't help but swallow all of it

And let it sit in my stomach

Before it goes to waste

To teach me a few things

About the way, I relish

Within myself."

- Sufi Sun

Financial Independence And Women

Why financial independence is important for women? I asked why not?? Yes financial independence is important for all regardless of men and women, but in our patriarchal society where men's have all the rights to do things, where men's are the sole decision-maker in the house, women's did not have the basic rights to do things (what to wear what to not, where to spend money where to not, buy something, which job we should do or we shouldn't etc.) they have to take permission for all these things. Financial Independence as important as your identity is or we can see financial independence as a tool to define our own identity. Financial independence is as much as important to financial freedom. Well, now you must be curious about what exactly financial independence is? Financial independence is enough income to pay our own living expenses without any kind of dependence. Whereas Financial freedom is when you can spend money without any kind of constraint or stress. Well yo...
