In between all these events, I got to spend time at the kentlittleleague fields cheering on my son and daughter during their games. There’s nothing better than seeing young athletes build confidence, teamwork, and friendships while having fun out on the field. Thank you to all the coaches, volunteers, and families who make youth sports possible for our community.

I ended the day at the Berieter House “Build a Bouquet” event with my two youngest. We had such a fun time learning together and creating beautiful bouquet. Grateful for opportunities that bring families and community together through creativity and connection. Thank you greaterkenthistoricalsociety for putting on this event. So much fun.

Thank you, King County Council, for Vaisakhi proclamation. Thank you, CM Fain and PVR for sponsoring this important proclamation honoring a sacred day marking the founding of the Khalsa and the contributions of Sikh Americans. Thank you, Jaskaran Singh Sarao for organizing this with the county staff.

Sikhs have been part of the Pacific Northwest for over a century, persevering through challenges like the Bellingham riots. We also remember pioneers like Bhagat Singh Thind, whose legal battle for citizenship helped shape the course of civil rights in the United States.

It has been an honor to serve as one of the first Sikh women elected in Washington State, alongside Manka Dhingra; we were elected the same night in 2017.
