Faces of Detroit

Faces of Detroit Showing the beauty of the Detroit area through the beautiful human beings that live here. I would really appreciate it if you take another look.

Basirah means spiritual insight, wisdom, the inner eye in Arabic and in Sufi Spirituality. My page was called "faces of detroit" but even then since the beginning I had posted not just about detroit, but also my photographs from all over the world. For this reason I find it more fitting to change it to a general name such as Basirah, that more accurately encompasses all of my photography and posts

. In that sense it is a more fitting name than the current faces of detroit. Those who have been following my page for a while should know that I post photographs from all over the world so It should not be confusing to them. I am in the process of updating the "about" section to reflect this, and I have not published the page yet. Thank you very much

This woman is from India and she was chosen to go to college in Sweden when she was a young woman in the 50s. Though this was a great opportunity for her, it was not easy. She told me that everything was taught in Swedish, and even English was taught in Swedish. So not only did she study all the subjects the entire day, but every night she used to study Swedish for hours just so she could understand the lectures. She was probably one of the only Indian girls in Sweden at the time, she said "all the Swedish boys and girls used to stare at my long shiny black hair that ran down my back". She ended up finishing her degree and going back to India where she was a Sociology professor for many years. Today, she can speak 7 languages and she is a proud American citizen and Human of Detroit!

What an amazing story.
