I have to agree with @ayeshachari.bsky.social the navigation within our bolis is an emotional journey! ❤️
As a parent and adult immigrant in a land with English as the dominant language, everything in this piece by @draliaamir.bsky.social is too often on my mind. Watching my 5yo learn, unlearn and navigate multiple bolis is emotional and fascinating all at once.
