About Me
- Daij
- Somewhere in , Wisconsin, United States
- First of all, I love GOD. Proud Christian here! I love the smell of baked goods, seeing dads with their sons at the barbershop, couples walking down the street holding hands, I love my friends and their kids and their dogs and cats and my cats. I love poetry, jazz, old school R&B, Hip hop, Gospel, House, architecture, writing, and baking. I love compliments about my baking, I love Paris, Scarborough Ontario, Latino culture, nappy hair, and the sound of kids laughing. The first thing I do every morning after I crawl out of bed is get on my knees to thank God for letting me see another day. I invite you to join me on this journey on this thing called Life, where you might laugh, cry, and perhaps be enlightened along the way! I might be enlightened as well, based on your responses to my posts. For collaborations: daij62@gmail.com

Leadership is very important.
Jeff asks in thekingpin68 comments:
"Can a good Muslim be a good American?"
Interesting question. Initially I was going to say that all Muslims are not monolithic in their attitudes towards the United States because I happen to have at least 8 Muslim friends of all ethnicities that are very patriotic, but I 'googled' that very same question, and every response I saw, said 'no'. But I'm sure they can be good Americans. For example, 9-11 upset me as an American, and as a human being in general, and I know quite a few Muslims that were as upset as I was. They were also suddenly in fear for their lives because they knew they'd be accused of being sympathetic towards the people involved, which they were not. My friends wanted to kill Osama Bin Laden as much as George W Bush. I have Muslim friends that have in their home, American Flags on their living room walls beside their Islamic artwork. So, at least, the muslims I know, are patriotic. I would hate to put all of them in the same box.
