HEY APW,
Najva here! I spent most of this week getting over being sick, so other than one day of bike riding and paddle boarding in DC. (It’s surprisingly easy! I didn’t even fall in!) I have been watching movies, tv, and basically lazing around “conserving energy.” Other than that, it seems worth mentioning that #blacklivesmatter was started a year ago this week. I wonder if one day it’ll be a national holiday like Labor Day or MLK Day? I guess our generation has our work cut out for us. Meanwhile, enjoy these Pakistani girls donned in serious tulle street-fashion, and jump on your happy hour!
Cheers,
Najva
