REDUNDANCY (yes I know they have specific Pride merch im just making a goof)

When a businessman mocked Reuben Singh’s turban in 2017, the billionaire CEO of Isher Capital responded with style — launching the viral “Rolls-Royce Turban Challenge,” matching his turban to his luxury cars each day

What began as a clapback turned into a global celebration of Sikh pride and identity. With a collection including Bugatti Veyron, Pagani Huayra, and Porsche 918 Spyder, Singh showed that success and culture can stand strong together

In 2015, Japan did something delightfully unexpected—it officially granted “citizenship” to Godzilla. Once known as a terrifying force of destruction, the iconic monster had, over time, transformed into one of the country’s most cherished cultural symbols.

The honorary status came from Shinjuku, which also named Godzilla its official tourism ambassador. More than just a playful gesture, it reflected Japan’s deep appreciation for its pop culture heritage and its unique ability to turn even its most fearsome creations into sources of pride.

A towering Godzilla head installed atop Toho Cinemas Shinjuku quickly became a must-see attraction, drawing fans from around the world. It stands as a powerful symbol of the character’s evolution—from the destructive figure in Godzilla to a global icon of imagination and storytelling.

By embracing Godzilla as a “citizen,” Japan showcased something distinctly its own: a culture where the line between fiction and reality is playfully blurred. In doing so, it celebrated not just a monster, but a legend that continues to shape national identity and inspire generations worldwide.

My feeling of pride:

This story breaks every limit we think exists.

Jad, a father with Down syndrome from Syria, spent 25 years working in a wheat mill to give his son Sader a future—and today, that son is a dentist.

While people doubted him, Jad quietly proved them wrong, not with words, but with sacrifice, love, and consistency.

Sader says his father was always his greatest support. And the pride in Jad’s eyes says everything: “I may have Down syndrome, but I raised a man who helps others.”

In their community, Jad is respected and loved for his pure heart and kindness.

“I wouldn’t be who I am without him,” Sader admits.

Sometimes, the people the world underestimates end up rewriting what’s truly possible.
