Using henna tattoos for beauty and unity
April marks Arab-American Heritage Month and one of the beautiful parts of Arab culture is the use of henna, or temporary body art,
"Henna itself comes from a plant. The leaves of it are dry, they’re grinded into a powder, and then it’s mixed with a few essential ingredients to kind of get that dye content to be released. It actually originated in ancient Egypt and it’s been used for centuries to beautify and just for celebrations," said henna artist, Hina Farooq.
The intricate designs vary from country to country, "The Moroccan traditional henna, you’ll see more geometric patterns and you’ll see more fine work versus in Saudi Arabia you’ll see more bold and floral work, so just looking at the henna designs itself you’ll see that there’s diversity just in the art," said Farooq.
The art of henna also goes beyond Arab borders. As a Pakistani woman, Farooq says it’s common in her culture, too.
"I grew up with it. My elder sister used to put it on us for Eid al-Adha, Eid al-Fiitr, and wedding ceremonies, we do henna all the time. I would just steal a cone of hers and start practicing and doodling on myself and it just became into a hobby and now I’m here after 10 years doing it professionally," said Faroq who showed off her skills as a vendor at Contra Costa College’s Arab-American Heritage Month festival.
A student club at the San Pablo community college coordinated the event, "I started the Middle Eastern North Africa Student Union to advocate for Palestine and to get rid of misconceptions about Arabs. Since April is Arab American Heritage Month, we wanted to throw a festival to show off the culture. It allows people to really see Arabs as people," said event organizer, Sophie.
Arab music rippled throughout the quad as food, clothing, and other vendors offered their products and services to students, "I think now more than ever it’s so important to celebrate the diversity within the Arab culture, especially with what’s going on back in Palestine right now," said Farooq.
While Farooq delicately swirled ink across her customers hands, she reflected on using her skills not just for beauty, but as a symbol of unity. She and other henna artists regularly organize Bay Area fundraisers to help those in need in Palestine, "We would come together in solidarity, stand up for Palestine and show everyone through our art that we’re united and we will stand with them."

Mine is the same way but this only works a few times. They are SO smart !
You know you could go the extra mile and actually do something
Thank you kind soul! He is beautiful!!
I've got one of those. 🤪
아름다운 생명체인데 이기적인 어리석은 인간듷이 지들만 최고인냥 고등 동물들을 가둬 놓고 즐기는구나 자연에서 아기와 돌고래가 만나면 서로 얼마나 재미있게 놀까
You probably started that tradition so get used to it
you cheated the dog with a lie
Still waiting for an answer...
Precious baby... now add some steak😅😅😅
Why dont you give your beloved pet decent food? Add raw organic eggs, olive oil, brewers yeast, grated raw carrots, just that kibble ? Dont be surprised when she gets cancer.
That is so cute xx
Got the nerve to be sitting back there watching her do nothing like, "YEAH, you know how I like it...mix that shit!"
I knew he was gonna have a big personality just by looking at him.
You got a really smart sweet baby there. A bit of real bone broth gravy and some chopped carrots and all her dreams come true!! She's a darling tail wagger!!✨❤️ GS always think big, right?😉🐾
Baby looks scared
😢 😊❤
Crack an egg and put some salmon oil on it and enjoy the less shedding and she'll be happy too...
Awee she just wants ur love throw a chicken breast or Steak in there 😂😂😂🥰💯🫶🙏
I love that: " IM ALIVE IM ALIVE". He appreciates life. Wow! He's going to be very intelligent asking all those questions. God be with this little one and protect him every step of the way. In Jesus Name.
beautiful i wish i can experience it one time in life i think will be awesome
It’s actually screaming for help to get it out of captivity…but sure, let’s go with friends.
Mom ,,,
Feed your dog raw meat, watch them change for the good, I switched two months ago, got my dog off of that fast food kibble and he’s so happy and he poops less and doesn’t drink as much water.
Начальником будет! Всех поставит на место и работать заставит сутки без перерыва 😅
Q bárbaro como permite PERROS alado de su bebecito tierno y luego lamiendo el agua y respirando juntitos a el. Sepan q dónde hay bees tiernos pequeños y aun adultos los animales deben estar fuera en patios grandes no. Dentro de la casa un perro x mucho q lo bañes lo vacunes su baba del perro es dañina pasando días y luego los niños se empiezan a enfermar calenturas vomitos diarreas y muchas veces los doctores no dan q tienen y son parásitos de perros o gatos muchísimas criaturas se han muerto x tener mascotas dentro de la casa y hasta duermen en las recamaras conozco de niños q han.muerto x virus de perros y gatos y gente grande también así q tengan cuidado si aman a sus hijitos los animales. DEVEN DE ESTAR en el campo.dicho x un veterinario especialista dr.con maestrías tuvo una prima lejana q estuvo muy grave 1 mes hospitalizada vómito diarrea dolor en su panza en todo el cuerpo y no daban hasta q descubrieron en una resonancia magnética en todo su cuerpo y cerebro le dolía mucho su cabeza y le encontraron virus parásitos de perro.estuvo muy grave pero grave tenían como 6 perros dentro de su casa.
lol! I had a dog like that. Did the same fake out trick to get him to eat.
Me: Aww you trained her so well Woman: thank you! 🤗 Me: i was talking to the dog😂🤟🐶
She KNOWS dog kibble is CRAP with no nutrition in it and will give her cancer. So smart!
If she only knew
No no no, it’s because AT SOME POINT, SOMEBODY in that house, may have even been this lady, served up an extra tasty spread for this dog in that exact manner and the dog associates that with it’s memory of how delicious the meal was when it was prepared that way!!!
No water and can’t you throw a little meat in ther I mean you eat dry kibble everyday for the rest of your life!!!
My German Shepherd was the same way. They’re very spoiled, but they’re beautiful dogs.❤
That’s cruel
I must be a part of this! Where'd this take 👀 place?
😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤
餘生安康
Cuet😂
That's sad I feel bad for your dog, who will be full of cancer from eating that boring old dog food dry as hell humans should eat that shit every day see how they like eating the shit every day 🤦♀️
Someone got her used to that.I wonder?🤫
😂😂😂😂😅😅
Que linda 😂😂😂😂
Put a shirt and trousers on your friend
🐿🐧🦒🐣🦔🐪😹💐💐💐
"Hello, sir, my name is Fern. I am from Middle Earth." (please tell me someone gets this)
Because he wants more nutricious food more variety, rather than that dry cancerous sugar based food with 1% nutrients hes malnurished just like you for not realizing this
An example for the world.
he come to my school😮😮😮😮
My dogs eat high quality Kibble- I float it with water and add 1 raw egg- 10 out of 10
Wow. You make her feel so special when you do that. Like she is really part of the family lol. What a good dog mom lol
It is a really pretty dog
