May 2025 Updates

Happy May! I hope you are all well this month. I have shared my May updates below.

• I worked a bit more on the current fictional, adoption-related essay I’m writing. I’m trying to take on a different perspective than I normally do when I write these essays, and it’s been an interesting time.

• I’ve been reading more of Adeeb Khalid’s Central Asia, which has been very illuminating, and I have been learning a lot of history that I unfortunately was ignorant of.

  
  

Thank you for reading my updates! Feel free to share any adoptee-related writings or history book recommendations in the comments below. This month, if you live in the US, I encourage you to contact your congresspeople to urge action regarding the ongoing forced famine in Gaza here and to advocate against cutting SNAP here. Please also review Saroyah’s Twitter list here for updated information regarding the continuing humanitarian crisis in Sudan. For more resources and organizations to support, please look here.
