One hundred seeds: That's the number Minara Begum needs to plant in her Detroit backyard in order to grow enough vegetables such as squash, taro root and amaranth greens to feed her family for the year.
She learned to cook and garden at a young age in Bangladesh. In the two years since she moved to the U.S., she's grown traditional South Asian crops to feed her family — and whoever visits — on any given day. For Begum, this is a way of life. But through Bandhu Gardens, in Detroit, Begum and her neighbors are able to leverage their culinary skills into an entrepreneurial venture.
Bandhu Gardens sells surplus vegetables that are grown in the backyards of about six families to a handful of popular area restaurants. Last year they sold 120 pounds of greens, beans and peppers and 25 pounds of squash to restaurant accounts.

The Love & Lies of Rukhsana Ali is a whirlwind of emotions from elation to heartbreak. One moment she is happily in America with her friends and girlfriend until she is taken to Bangladesh and is tasked with finding a way back home. This covers the chapter of Rukhsana’s life as she is about to leave for college, but also when she comes out to her family. With traditions to uphold, her parents are not happy about her confession and circumstances take her through the journey of returning back home to her friends and girlfriend.
This novel gives some insight into what people of religious families go through during their coming out journey. She is still religious and upholds the beliefs she grew up with, but finds the expectations on marriage and love don’t match who she is. There are multiple LGBTQ+ characters that support her through her journey, creating a more diverse community among these characters. It explores some of their journeys with being LGBTQ+ and coming out to their families. Rukhsana is an intelligent, young, woman of color that proves that you can do anything you want with determination and the right people supporting you.
It says something about what it means to be in an environment that may be harmful when you come out and explaining that to the people that want you to come out. It should always be a choice whether a person comes out, and understanding someone’s situation is so important for a story like this. Coming out is not always easy, so having people that act as a support is very helpful. Don’t pressure someone if they are not ready, and don’t do it for them. Let them find the best way for them to say it themselves that keeps them safe, and minimizes any collateral damage.
This is an amazing story that I will be sharing with everyone I know. Her journey is one of female power, and no matter what happened, she proves that she will be a world changer.
