I was a sophomore at Bowdoin on 9/11... I remember talking to my dad on the phone that evening, him telling me in tears to be careful as the first news of mobs attacking Muslims, Sikhs and brown people started to filter in... but today a #Bowdoin alum became the first Muslim Mayor of NYC. #ZOHRAN 🥹🎆

“Drought has got a very, very slow way to kill everything. Your hopes, your dreams, your self-esteem, your financial independence. A body can take only so much, a mind can only take so much… when a farmer goes quiet, then you need to worry.”
