Prize-winner, Mark Fiore, who the Wall Street Journal has called “the undisputed guru of the form,” creates animated political cartoons in San Francisco, where his work has been featured regularly on the San Francisco Chronicle’s web site, SFGate.com. His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.","avatar":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fc4e2a612b15b67bad0c6f0e1db4ca9b?s=600&d=blank&r=g","twitter":"MarkFiore","facebook":null,"instagram":"https://www.instagram.com/markfiore/?hl=en","linkedin":null,"sites":[{"site":"arts","roles":["contributor"]},{"site":"news","roles":["editor"]},{"site":"futureofyou","roles":["editor"]},{"site":"science","roles":["editor"]}],"headData":{"title":"Mark Fiore | KQED","description":"KQED News Cartoonist","ogImgSrc":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fc4e2a612b15b67bad0c6f0e1db4ca9b?s=600&d=blank&r=g","twImgSrc":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fc4e2a612b15b67bad0c6f0e1db4ca9b?s=600&d=blank&r=g"},"isLoading":false,"link":"/author/markfiore"},"bwatt":{"type":"authors","id":"11238","meta":{"index":"authors_1591205172","id":"11238","found":true},"name":"Brian Watt","firstName":"Brian","lastName":"Watt","slug":"bwatt","email":"bwatt@KQED.org","display_author_email":false,"staff_mastheads":["news"],"title":"Morning News Anchor","bio":"Brian Watt is KQED's morning radio news anchor.

And while El-Bakri says the exact night itself is not specifically known, it took place “on one of the last 10 nights of Ramadan.” This period therefore has a special significance to Muslims, and is usually observed by performing special nightly prayers at home or at the mosques.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During Ramadan, Muslims fast from dawn until dusk, usually breaking their fasts with dates and fruits, before continuing their iftar of a full meal. Later in the night — only during Ramadan — there are special prayers called tarawih that are performed either at home or at the mosque.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Usually it’s during Ramadan that Muslims make their annual, obligatory charitable donations to those who need it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you’re looking for a way to support Muslim communities in need in the Bay Area this Ramadan, the best way to do so is to contact your local mosque or Muslim community associations.

But some parents encourage their kids to start trying this religious practice of fasting at a much younger age. “My parents started me at the age of 6,” said Shaikh.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shaikh remembers feeling tears in her eyes after her first sip of water during iftars when she was 6. “My parents would be like, why are you crying?” she said, adding that she remembers feeling so blessed to be able to observe the fast with her family at a young age. “They were tears of happiness,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But by the time she was in middle school, she had a more negative experience during Ramadan. “I remember peers and teachers not really understanding why I can’t do certain things [during Ramadan],” she said. Fasting can take a toll mentally and physically, says Shaikh, and she found it challenging to navigate activities like physical education classes — and negative comments from kids at school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shaikh says that observing Ramadan during high school was a much better experience than those earlier years. Not only were those teachers more understanding, but she “felt more comfortable being myself, being in my own skin.” This was also the time that she started attending Islamic school on Sundays, and felt that she was able to appreciate and learn more about her faith there. Also through the school, she was able to connect with other people who had similar backgrounds growing up Muslim in the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, as she experiences this holy month in college, Shaikh says she feels excited: about the moon-sighting event, getting together with her family and community for iftar, and sharing everything about Ramadan with her friends. “I just love explaining to my peers now what Ramadan is, and why we observe Ramadan,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her hope for the new generation of young Muslims in the Bay Area? “Don’t be afraid to be proud of who you are,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11944171\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11944171\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/03/RS63752_GettyImages-1240397744-qut.jpg\" alt=\"A man and a young boy, both with darker skin, wear traditional long sleeved purple shirts and pants, sitting down on a prayer mat.
