the life and times of jannat m.
hi. my name is jannat. i'm a pakistani muslim american immigrant, currently living in nc and planning to move to dc in the fall for law school. i used to call myself a feminist but now it's more like deconstructionist postcolonial feminist/womanist. i love to write, and my blog is a mix between pretty things and social justice. i have a lot of opinions.

sheerrri: One day the Taliban will probably succeed in killing me. I am resigned to this fate. But for as long as I am alive, I will not rest in my desire to lead my people out an abyss of corruption and poverty. For this reason, I am running for the Afghan presidency in 2014. I was born a girl who should have died. But if God wills it, I may die having become the first female president of a country I love and a country that will finally see all of its children—both boys and girls—born into peace and security, not violence and war. Fawzia Koofi, Afghanistan’s first female parliamentarian.

    I wish I could protect you as long as you campaign, Ms. Koofi. I’d do it in a heartbeat.
