CDC panel of advisers supports broad rollout
A boy plays at the National 9/11 Memorial and Museum during the commemoration the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center in New York.LAist reporter Yusra Farzan looks back on how growing up post 9/11 in the United Arab Emirates led her to a career in journalism.Today marks the 22nd anniversary of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. The attacks in New York City, Arlington, Va., and Shanksville, Pa., killed nearly 3,000 people.
My father did make the funeral, and we buried my grandmother on September 12. While we passed around Marie biscuits and cloudy lumps of sugar crystals, America was reeling from one of the biggest terror events of the 21st century, one that would in time profoundly impact foreign policy and change life as they knew it for American Muslims.
Growing up in the era of the Sri Lankan civil war, I was no stranger to bomb blasts and suicide bombers. My first memory of one was when I was 6, watching on TV as plumes of black smoke quickly took over the sky while people scampered away from the site of the Central Bank bombing in Colombo. With four journalists in my immediate family and my father working for a newspaper, I was de-sensitized to the news pretty early on.
Growing up in the shadow of 9/11, I also became hyper aware of how American media was portraying the Middle East; the very place that offered my parents a safe space to raise their children away from the terrors of Sri Lanka’s civil war. I have a complicated relationship with Saudi Arabia, where I was born, and the UAE, where I have lived the longest.
