Today marks the first day of . To mark this holiday we worked with Fahmida Azim to learn what the holiday means to her and her family. Here's what she had to say: “Ramadan is a month-long holiday where we fast from dawn to dusk everyday for a month. No food or drink of any kind. I think the longest I’ve gone is 17 hours a day. My favorite part of the whole practice is the first bite of food after a long day of fasting. There’s a whole dramatic countdown where every second feels like an eternity, all the self-denial and anticipation comes to a head, but this magical thing happens where no matter what the food is - it always tastes like the best meal ever.

Right after that first bite I can physically feel gratitude flooding my system. I feel thankful to have people who care enough to share a meal with me. I’m thankful that I can choose to fast, ‘cause there’s lots of people who don’t get to choose. I’m also proud of being able to strengthen my discipline. I haven’t been able to do Ramadan the past few years, but all the years I celebrated with my family made me a better version of myself.”
