“In every culture and society, hope shines most brightly through our youth. They teach us with their genuine acceptance of all. Ayaan Sheikh and his mother Hafsa Naz Mahmood cherish each day as an opportunity to accept, embrace, and cherish all living beings. Their colorful words provide us with a proactive example of how we can honor and celebrate equally what we have in common and what makes us unique.”
