I also play in a punk rock band, we sing about being Muslim in a post-911 world. I have a pet hamster named Fuzz Ahmad Fuzz, dabble in graphic design, and play basketball. Some stuff I'm involved with are: Asian Arts Freedom School - an art-based radical Asian history and activism program for Asian/Pacific Islander youth in the Greater Toronto Area. AQSAzine - a grassroots zine open to 16-35 year old women and trans people who self-identify as Muslim. It is a creative avenue for us to express ourselves, share our experiences, and connect with others. In Arabic, "aqsa" implies the furthermost, as in reaching out to the furthest possible point. AQSAZINE aims to motivate the utmost resistance to violence in all its forms. 16-year-old Aqsa Parvez, who was murdered on December 10th, 2007, also inspires this zine. It is to honour her and other Muslims who experience and resist violence. We strive to work from a feminist, anti-oppressive, pro-choice, queer and trans positive framework. Colour me Dragg - brings together drag, burlesque and other queer and trans performers of colour of all experience levels in the Toronto area in one exciting show. No One is Illegal - Toronto a group of immigrants, refugees and allies who fight for the rights of all migrants to live with dignity and respect. We believe that granting citizenship to a privileged few is part of a racist immigration and border policies designed to exploit and marginalize migrants. We work to oppose these policies, as well as the international economic policies that create the conditions of poverty and war that force migration. At the same time, it is part of our ongoing work to support and build alliances with Indigenous peoples in their fight against colonialism, displacement and the ongoing occupation of their land. Alliance for South Asian AIDS Prevention a community-based, non-profit, charitable organization committed to providing health promotion, support, education and advocacy in a non-discriminatory manner for those who identify as South Asian living with and affected by HIV/AIDS.
