My career has taken me all over the world โ on and off the pitch โ to tell stories, and to live them. Sport Chek ensures all my fits are fire so I can focus on the grind. Whether Iโm shopping in-store or online, theyโve got me covered.

She's here. Toronto has a WNBA team. This entire story announcement has been a wild ride - from breaking the story at 4 am to doing radio interviews on the GO Train. It's been a riveting once in a career experience. Alhumdullilah.
As the journalist who broke the news, it has been professionally rewarding and personally enthralling.
I work with the best people at @cbc.sports .
The support of colleagues near and far has been incredible, despite some trying to take away my shine. Unrelated: did I forget to change my footwear and attend the press conference in my chappals? Yes. Of course.
Cheers to the women who laid the foundations, the investors who ignored the naysayers, the girls and boys who will see the highest levels of professional basketball in Canada, the fans who will support it enthusiastically, and to the media who will cover it with dedication and drive.

My presser question was: "The WNBA is arguably the most socially and politically progressive league in the world. How will that fit in with the Toronto vibe?"
Here's a video on my latest piece for @cbc.sports on the 2026 FIFA men's World Cup, @bih.reprezentacija , and what it means to fans from Bosnia and Herzegovina to witness this moment.
I spoke with people living in Canada from Bosnia and Herzegovina. They may be different ages bur all have such a devotion and pride in their identity.
This is probably the most profound piece I have written. Alhumdullilah.
Grateful to Emina, Jasmin, @topuz.alija , Denis, @ado_g03@ahmedsalihovic_@zbeacon

A new BroadsCast drops today, but weโre missing an important element-the salt, NAY, the umami flavour that rounds out any panel, pod or gathering-the one, the only, @footybedsheets .
Happiest of birthdays to my first born, Saif-Ullah. I landed my greatest role (of Mama) when he came into the world 26 years ago.
It was pouring rain when I went into labour but the sun came out after he was born Alhumdullilah.
Since then, he has been a source of strength, laughter, and me constantly learning about myself and the world. He loves to talk about politics, world issues and shows an enormous love and loyalty to family- of which I benefit.
He is someone we look to for advice, opinion and to offer perspective. And he has been gently nudging me since he was eight years old.
I am so proud to be his Mama Alhumdullilah and blessed that his kindness, wisdom, compassion, nuance and sense of justice fills my world. I also love that his love of food and snacks is an anchor in our relationship. Feeding him is one of my joys Alhumdullilah.
Bubbas, May Allah swt envelope you in love and Mercy, bring you joy and laughter, and success This lifetime and the Hereafter. -Ameen

Tonight, the Toronto Tempo play their first game of the season facing off against the Washington Mystics. Theyโre the first Canadian Team in the WNBA, and itโs a historic moment. ๐
