"But in 2003, - my ninth year in the United States - something unexpected happened: upon arriving at JFK airport, I was taken to a small room and told I had been added to a Muslim watchlist (similar to the one Trump enacted in 2017).
The reason? I was an immigrant from Malaysia, a primarily Muslim country. As a result, I couldn’t board a flight or get off a plane without being subjected to three-hour-long interviews. I even had to report in to the government every 28 days. I was living in a constant state of stress, dread, and anger - and before long Kristina and I reluctantly relocated ourselves and Mindvalley to Malaysia.
I remember one particularly emotional moment when Kristina and I wondered if our future kids - who’d be mixed race - would ever have to endure this hardship too. This painful experience triggered another of my biggest missions in life: to break down the unnecessary walls that divide humanity, so we can instead unite and co-create in our beautiful diversity."
