Last time we heard from Yusef, he had written a wonderful post for this blog entitled\u00a0Who I need to be for you<\/a>,\u00a0<\/em>detailing\u00a0how he changed himself to become more open to finding the love of his life, Samira (below, mashAllah!).<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a><\/p>\n

This time, Yusef is going homeless.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Yusef has been going homeless for a week every year for the past four years to raise awareness about the realities that homeless people face each day. \u00a0In addition to going homeless this \u00a0year, he has taken a vow of silence<\/a> in solidarity\u00a0with homeless people, who are silenced and marginalized in our communities.<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a><\/p>\n

We, the editors, live in cities with large homeless populations, so we thought we had a pretty good idea of what that meant. But reading about Yusef\u2019s journey over the past six days has been eye-opening, educational and moving.<\/p>\n

Yusef is one of those rare people who walk the talk of living more compassionately and developing richer relationships with all those around him. \u00a0By doing so, he sets the bar for our aspirations and actions even higher.<\/p>\n

Our deepest love and respect to you, Yusef!<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
