Ifti Nasim is an Islamic poet, writer and activist. He was born in Pakistan, but now resides in Chicago where he hosts a radio program and is involved in the LGBT community. He effortlessly becomes the main attraction in whatever room he enters. Ifti is a rare breed of person who actually lives what he preaches and whose personality matches his ideologies. He loves to laugh and thinks you should also.

Love this – all of the music, the angles, everything. You have really become a filmmaker… But don’t take Ifti’s advice about brothers!
Ifti has always been a frank and a lively individual. He is honest with an iota of hypocracy in him. He is an outstanding poet. His Urdu poetry like Barishon Key Ba’ad Sat rangi Dhanak Aa Ajayey Gi and his English poetry reflecting the hatred of blacks/browns by a certain section of the society. He is a profound Muslim, American and Pakistani simultaneously. He believes in family bondage and preaches such. It is an excellent movies made byDustin Nakao-Haider. My congratulations.
