View this post on Instagram Drove from the city yesterday with all of my siblings to support our Baba speaking at @harvard . He spoke about his life and his many accomplishments but most importantly his journey as a refugee from Palestine. The most emotional part, for me, was hearing about his proudest moment as an architect; building the @hijrahva Mosque in Virginia in 1991. The fact that it still stands tall, as a safe place for Muslims& refugees to feel protected and comfortable, makes me the proudest daughter in the world. Baba, Thank you for constantly teaching &showing me the true beauty and truth of the Muslim/ Palestinian community; I can’t wait to continue to follow in your footsteps. Thank you @israspeaks for your question, contribution and all that you do. Your words speak volumes and I can’t wait to follow all that you do in the world !!! Thank you to @harvardarabalumni & everyone of the board for welcoming us. This day was beyond inspiring ✔️❤️ A post shared by 🦋 (@bellahadid) on Apr 8, 2019 at 10:20am PDT
