I feel that we all have many roles to play in life. For me, I constantly feel that I'm juggling being a practicing Muslim, a feminist, a medical student, an advocate of social justice, a wife, a cat mom, a daughter, a sister, a friend. It's easy to lose my sense of self in the midst of all those identities. Especially being in medical training, free time is a luxury so it can feel selfish to take time for myself when I should be fighting for people's rights or learning as much as I can to care for my patients or being with the people I love. My ring reminds me that I need to care for myself first and foremost because I am no good to anyone unless I am good on my own. Thank you for creating this beautiful token and movement.
