You’d expect Fariha Róisín to be pretty reliant on her phone — after all, she’s no stranger to the power of digital. Róisín hosts the Two Brown Girls podcast, writes for BuzzFeed and Teen Vogue, has been featured in Vogue, and is an outspoken Muslim feminist.
But Róisín has no phone. She uses social media, but she hasn’t had a cell phone in years. Still, her writing and Instagram account are good places to go for a pick-me-up — even millennial cool girls Rowan Blanchard and Tavi Gevinson are followers.
