We met in 2023 protesting for Palestine! While we ran into each other a few times here and there we ended up going out to lunch with some mutual friends and got to talking. After finding out we’d both be fasting for Ramadan as first-timers, I offered to lend Dakota a Quran since he said he was wanting to read it all month long. We met up for coffee at a local favorite, Madhouse Coffee, so that I could give it to him. We ended up talking until the cafe closed and the rest is history!
