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.
