I wrote something recently about the London Bridge terror attacks for MuslimGirl.com, which you can read now.
I won’t expand on it here, but please do have a read and let me know your thoughts on it. And in light of it, I’d like to share some of my favourite quotes on my hometown – and in my opinion, the greatest city on earth. Go ahead, @ me bruh.
