PRTRAIT

Made in Virginia—with roots in South Asia.

A lover of all things sweet, Sadia adores gulab jamun, homemade kheer, apple pecan pie, and sweet potato casserole. Inspired by her children, she confronted the constant push-and-pull that comes with being the daughter of immigrants—and embraced her identity as a Pakistani-American Muslim woman and veteran.
