Post 9/11 life changed for many, not just in the U.S but all over the world. The hashtag after September 11 saw over 50,000 people tweet the impact it had on their lives and those around them.

The hashtag was created by Jessica Talwar, a 19-year-old political science student at Loyola University in Chicago and who tweets as @jesstalwar. In an email to the Los Angeles Times, she explained that the tag was created to share some of the effects of 9/11 that many have missed. “America needs to recognize that the trauma and repercussions of these attacks were not confined to the day of September 11, 2001 itself,” she wrote. “Desis, Arabs, and Muslims have felt the impact of this day for 14 years”.

#AfterSeptember11 Public space became caustic/ violent/ antagonist. Having a beard & turban became a risk. Being an American wasn't enough.
