Have you ever felt stuck in a dead-end job but were too afraid to take the leap into something new? That was me not too long ago. As a finance professional for over 4 years, I had settled into a comfortable routine. My job was predictable, my coworkers were friendly, and I could do my tasks...

When thinking of a country to travel to, Israel doesn’t come up in the first place in my mind. But since I made friends who are from Israel, I wonder how Israel is, and I am interested in visiting it. Photo by Raimond Klavins on Unsplash War, Jesus, innovation are the ...

Someday, I hope to stop writing about the progressive agenda, wokeness, and self-righteousness of my beloved left — but there is just more and more content flying my way. Most of the time I just want to be left alone and enjoy the city but in many of the “inclusive”, and “...

The size / intensity of this event was massively stronger than the 1859 Carrington Event (which if occurring today would very likely bring down significant regions of the global grid for months to years). Miyake events are intense bursts of cosmic radiation that bombard Earth, leaving behind dist...

Last week I had the opportunity to speak about why I think the post-money SAFE is the best investment vehicle for early-stage start-ups, better than convertible notes. While I was preparing my presentation, by some weird cosmic coincidence, I had not one but three startups pitch me on investing u...

Real estate has a dual-fold appeal: it provides tangible assets and has historically appreciated over time making it one of my favorite ways to invest $150,000. When you invest in property, not only are you holding a physical asset, but you’re also tapping into potential rental income strea...

Where the cries are silent and the laughs are loud, you don’t call it a happy space. We all know the most important characteristic that makes a human, human is emotions. Feelings of joy, sadness, jealousy, excitement, nervousness etc makes us feel lively. How are you feeling right now?? Do ...

Every so often, women reach me wanting to tell their stories. A few years ago, I set up a space for this called Yalla Feminists. In Arabic, the word yalla means come on, let’s go, move it, keep going — and so much more. The idea was to create a platform for those who have ...

While walking my dog one balmy April night, I crossed paths with a man who turned to me and said: “I wanna pin you down and fuck the shit out of you.” As if he has a right to say this. “Asshole!” I screamed. It was the only thing I could think of to say. He had already tur...

“The land of the free and the home of the brave” is supposed to be the story of America. It is something that every American is supposed to believe as a part of our national anthem. Yet, in the past couple of years, disillusionment has settled in as America becomes the land of regular ma...

What with all the recent mass shootings and murders being blamed our beloved national emblem, I would like to put forward some fair and balanced arguments as to why we should not toss the baby out with the bathwater. America’s history is littered with poor tradesman all too eager to blame thei...
