This is objectively speaking the greatest dream of any post-colonial Western society and anyone who tells you otherwise doesn't understand history.
“Can’t believe NYC elected a Muslim as mayor.”
In truth—a Black American Christian woman swearing in a Ugandan American Muslim of South Asian ethnicity as his Syrian American wife holds the Qurans he swears in on, all while standing on the steps of a subway station—is the most NYC thing imaginable.

Was out of work 17 years ago, watched a documentary about coffee farmers and trade unions and decided to start a coffee business. It was a big struggle for a long time. Really grateful we got mentioned yesterday in Irish Times 50 great brands. Never underestimate timing, dumb luck and persistence.

One week ago, thousands of New Yorkers tried something new.
They heard about it last minute. They didn’t know where it would take them or who they would meet. It was free, earnest, even educational.
It was the #ZcavengerHunt and it was a thing of beauty.
