I write this from my home in Austin, Texas, where I arrived safely last night. My NSLI-Y program ended two months earlier than expected due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and my cohort and I were miraculously evacuated to the United States yesterday, after waiting in quarantine and uncertainty because of the Moroccan government's decision to close its borders on March 15th. While my heart is heavy as I think of the home and life I left behind in Rabat, I am incredibly privileged to be safe and healthy in this moment. So much love to the 15 other NSLI-Y students who made this year so beautiful-- the seven months we spent together were not nearly long enough, but we have made memories to last a lifetime. Here are some of my favorite photos of my second family and home; I love and miss you all and am so grateful for everything. ❤❤
