ABOUT

Full Name: Sahra Almira Demir

Nickname: N/A

Age/DOB: March 17, 1992 (32)

Zodiac Sign: Pisces

Gender: Cis Female

Place of Birth: Briar Ridge, SC

Neighborhood: Beach Front (lives with her best friend, @lia-lozano)

Sexual/Romantic Orientations: Bisexual / Biromantic

Religion: Muslim

Occupation: Former Host of a Home Reno Show on HGTV (kind of like Flip or Flop, Fixer Upper, and Good Bones), Current part time (2-3 days/nights a week) bartender 

PERSONALITY

Goals/Desires: To make a place for herself by herself in the design world, to get her own show on a network not connected to her former fiance, learn how to ride a bike 

Fears: Bed bugs, free falling, breaking a bone

Hobbies: Those diamond ‘paintings’ (she was influenced okay?), hand knitting, yoga, walking along the beach, karaoke, learning to cook, teaching herself various DIY skills (soldering, woodwork, etc); really she just loves to learn new things whether that be a skill or information

Likes & Dislikes: the smell of wet paint, singing in the shower, anything smothered in cheese, backwards ballcaps, movie soundtracks, laughing so hard no sound comes out, crispy french fries, that spark of inspiration at the beginning of a new project, bubble baths, manifesting, ocean sounds, extra ice, fuzzy socks, semi-frozen uncrustables with raspberry jelly // mismatched patterns, ikea furniture, clothes with high collars, unread notifications, unpainted nails, daylight savings, her retainer, raw onions, being rushed, dares, having to make any kind of appointment, the smell of ketchup, putting the dishes away, cold pizza, getting sawdust in her hair, broken nails

TLDR;

Sahra is 32 and was born and raised in Briar Ridge. Big middle child energy (probably because she is a middle child). Was a theater kid in high school, very much loves to sing and dance. Moved to New York City after high school graduation to pursue her (at the time) dream of becoming a Broadway star. While she was a struggling wannabe artist she was making Youtube videos/vlogs of her fixing up her small af studio apartment. Slowly, as her Broadway dream became less and less of a reality she quickly fell in love with DIY and design so she juggled going to school for design, a classic waitress job, and auditioning for shows and voice and dance lessons, etc. She met who she thought would be the love of her life (spoiler alert: he wasn't), and got a solo as a chorus line member in a big show around the same time. Things were looking amazing, the guy's family's company (HGTV) was even interested in her getting her own DIY show. She ended up moving to LA and got said show with ex man. They shot to stardom (think like... Flip or Flop or Chip and Jo Gaines kind of thing) with their show and got engaged. Things were so great until they weren't. Long story short, their engagement ended because she wouldn't convert to his religion- at least that was the excuse he gave. She moved back to BR six months ago, completely heartbroken, and moved in with her childhood bestie, Lia Lozano. Her ex has recently been seen with another woman and it’s made her question everything she thought she knew about him and their relationship.

Mid-January 2025 - Finds out Kyle and his new wife named their daughter the name Sahra had planned to name her daughter (her great grandmother's name) and she threw her phone into the ocean in anger and hasn't replaced it yet

BIOGRAPHY

Born and raised in Briar Ridge, Sahra is the middle child of Ayda and Zekai Demir- two first generation Turkish immigrants who met in college and fell in love

Was raised in a very loving, but oftentimes strict Muslim household - while she rebelled in her own ways, she never felt like she couldn’t tell her parents something or couldn’t go to them with a problem - the Demir’s were and continue to be a close knit family unit

It’s said (by her tbh) that she was singing and dancing before speaking and walking, and while that’s a bit of an exaggeration Sahra has been musically inclined since she was small

It was a surprise to absolutely no one when the oftentimes dramatic middle child grew into a theater kid

It was also no surprise when, after graduation, Sahra decided to leave Briar Ridge and move to New York City to pursue her longtime dream of becoming a Broadway star

Of course, getting into that scene and becoming the big headlining name she dreamed of wasn’t an easy task, so while doing everything she could- auditions, voice lessons, dance lessons, networking- to achieve her dream, she was also waitressing and fixing up the small studio apartment she lived in with two other people

While fixing up the apartment she recorded herself and posted it to YouTube, creating a channel that was mainly for herself and her family, but ended up garnering quite a following over the years

As much as she loved performing, she found her heart was being pulled in another direction- design

So amidst her lessons and auditions and job, Sahra found herself going to school for Interior Design while learning as much as she could about DIY from other YouTube videos and phone calls with her dad

Things were going well for a girl far away from home in her early 20s, she had a good group of friends, her YouTube channel was thriving, she was finally making a name for herself (albeit a small one) in the world of Broadway, and she’d met a man who captured her heart faster than anyone had before

And it only got better from there- her relationship thrived as did her career, and the vlog she’d created for her apartment makeovers was more popular than ever. She was on track to get everything she’d ever wanted, everything she’d worked so hard for, and she was happy. So happy.

Sahra and her boyfriend moved in together, she got a solo in one of the biggest shows on Broadway and her design degree. New York was home now and she couldn’t imagine it being any better, but then her boyfriend dropped a bomb she hadn’t been expecting but she also wasn’t opposed to: he had an opportunity for both of them in LA and would she be willing to move?

Her gut reaction had been an instant no. How could she leave everything she’d been working so hard for behind? However, as much as she loved performing, she found that design had been where her heart was leading her for the past couple of years and the move to Los Angeles would allow her not only to follow that dream, but would put her back with her best friend

So she made a choice that should have been more difficult than it was- she agreed to move with her boyfriend to LA, closing the Broadway chapter in her life to open a new, home renovations one with the love of her life while getting to spend time in the same city as her favorite person for the first time since they both left their hometown after high school

But as Newton said all those years ago, what goes up must come down, and Sahra had gotten so high the subsequent fall nearly ended her

In the five years she spent in LA, Sahra built a life and a home for herself she thought would be forever. The show she’d curated with her now fiance (and the help of his family) had opened doors to new endeavors she’d never even dreamed of- design and renovations had become her life, one she loved and enjoyed, but it all came crashing down around her when her relationship was thrown into peril

The wedding planning during a break in filming for their show had been going better than Sahra could have ever dreamed, however, she hadn’t noticed just how disconnected to it all her fiance had been, and when it came time for him to present her with their prenup everything changed

It was a standard contract, one Sahra hadn’t been surprised or offended by- his family had a lot of money (they were the majority owners of HGTV after all), but there’d been a clause added that had her stopping in her tracks and digging her heels in

Her relationship with religion hadn’t ever been strong by any means, but she was raised in a Muslim household and she participated in Islam in a way that suited her. It wasn’t nearly as strict as her parents would have liked it to be, but at least she believed

It’d never been an issue in her relationship, their differing religions, as neither of them was especially devout, but while reading over the prenup she found a clause requiring her to convert to his religion so they could have a traditional ceremony

She thought it’d been a mistake, and when she’d approached her fiance about it he confirmed her naive suspicions and told her not to worry about it- that it’d be taken care of and everything would be fine. But it wasn’t.

As time went on she found her fiance pressuring her to just do as his parents asked, she didn’t actually have to believe in the religion, but they were paying for the wedding, they were the reason she had everything in her life that she loved, so couldn’t she just do this one little thing for them?

His gentle prodding turned into forceful declarations, fights had behind closed (and open) doors. And for a while, Sahra had been teetering on the line of simply doing what they’d asked of her so she could continue to live in the fairytale life she’d come to know- besides, what would stop her from converting back to Islam once the ceremony was done? But she couldn't do it. And when she told her fiance, a man she’d been convinced would love and support her no matter what, he’d done the unthinkable by ending their engagement, their relationship, the show, and the life they’d built together 

In the blink of an eye Sahra’s entire world collapsed around her. The rose colored glasses she’d been wearing for so long had seemingly been ripped away and she was faced with a blinding reality she wasn’t quite ready for- even at 31

She found herself moving back to Briar Ridge once it was all said and done, her heart and confidence shattered

Sahra’s now been back in town, living with her best friend, for six months. She’s still not fully ready to face the way her life has changed so drastically, but she’s still got her dreams and her online following. So while she’s navigating all of the changes in her life, she’s doing small projects around Lia’s beach house and trying to find joy again. It’s a slow process, but one she’s certain she’ll succeed in as long as she follows her heart and has her best friend by her side

She’d made some great progress, even finding herself a job as a part time bartender at The Rusty Spur and Golden Hour, when her media blackout involving her ex was broken and she found out some Earth shattering information- not only was he married now, but he also had a two month old daughter with his new wife. The math wasn’t mathing and she realized he’d had an affair, canceling her own self imposed media blackout and unblocking his name from her phone

It was then she found out the way he’d talked about her and their relationship to the media, stating he always knew they weren’t compatible, she wasn’t right for him, they didn’t have the same values. But his new wife did. And Sahra was right back to being as broken as she’d been when their relationship had first ended

Now, Sahra is back to wallowing in self pity and heading down a bit of a self destructive, chaotic path

WANTED CONNECTIONS

The usual suspects – childhood friends, coworkers, people she met/knows from New York and her time in LA, first kiss, first time, exes from high school and before she met her former fiance, hook ups, theater friends, DIY friends, people she knows through her siblings, etc.

The Crying Hookup – Sahra is in a bit of a fragile state emotionally (when is she not tho lbr), and while she’s convinced all she needs to do to get over her ex is to get under a few new people… she finds herself in a bit of an awkward situation when she’s mid hookup and begins to cry before grabbing her clothes and getting the hell out of there (I just think this would be really funny, especially if there’s a second hookup that this happens with and she’s like ‘not again’)

Angry Neighbor(s) – Not only is Sahra not afraid of using power tools but lately her sleep schedule has been a bit… wonky, so she’s found herself doing little projects at odd hours. Lia probably sleeps with ear plugs in at this point but her neighbors? Not so much. She also has a bad habit of singing, no, belting, show tunes at the top of her lungs while working. With a little bit of Taylor Swift mixed in bc heartbreak. Obviously this person/these people aren’t too pleased with the noisy interruptions to their sleep/relaxation time

HGTV/DIY Addicts – People who watched her show/fans! It’s a really sore subject right now but she wouldn’t ever take it out on someone who recognizes her from her show. It did run for several seasons and was pretty popular! She also has her TikTok channel, YouTube channel, and personal & professional Instagram accounts. Would love if someone knows who she is and maybe asks her to help them with a project they want to try!

The Contractor - IDK if you've ever seen the show Flip or Flop with Tarek and Christina El Moussa (I know they're divorced and she has a different last name but I cannot be bothered to find it now) but they buy houses and flip them. They're a design team and they have a contractor who helps them out on all their jobs. This would be the contractor from the show Sahra worked on with her ex. I think it would be a fun connection to explore! Maybe her ex implied they were having an affair to make himself look better? Maybe he paid off the contractor to stay quiet when he was caught? Maybe the contractor left bc they didn't like how Sahra was ousted/treated and they're close friends? I just think it would be a fun dynamic to create/explore and to have a part of the life Sahra's currently mourning here in Briar Ridge! (Will probably be putting a wc out for this character but figured I'd put it here so I don't forget about it lol)

Solar Eclipse Of April 8, 2024.

Solar Eclipse Of April 8, 2024.

New moon phase on April 8 will bring on the 2024 total solar eclipse. You'll be able to see two planets in the dawn sky as well. The new moon occurs on April 8 at 2:21 p.m. EDT (1821 GMT) and will usher in a "Great American Eclipse" — the first total solar eclipse to hit the lower 48 states since August 2017.

A total solar eclipse will take place at the Moon's ascending node on Monday, April 8, 2024.

The Monday, April 8, 2024, total solar eclipse will cross North America, passing over Mexico, the United States, and Canada. The total solar eclipse will begin over the South Pacific Ocean. Weather permitting, the first location in continental North America that will experience totality is Mexico’s Pacific coast at around 11:07 a.m. PDT. https://science.nasa.gov/eclipses/future-eclipses/eclipse-2024/where-when/

This rare celestial phenomenon will occur when the moon blots out the sun.

During the total solar eclipse, a swath of North America will plunge into a few minutes of darkness.

Tens of millions who live along a narrow stretch from Mexico's Pacific coast to eastern Canada can just look skyward on Monday to have a glimpse of the day turning into twilight. https://www.livemint.com/news/india/pm-narendra-modi-sets-ambitious-india-economic-goals-for-probable-third-term-11712239407472.html

According to NASA, the eclipse will actually start way out over the Pacific Ocean, early in the morning. It'll make its first landfall on the west coast of Mexico, near the beach town of Mazatlán. The sky there will start to darken around 10 a.m., and they'll experience totality at 11:07 a.m. Pacific time, for 4 minutes and 17 seconds.

Then, the eclipse will cross through the inland portions of Mexico and into Texas, right over parts of San Antonio. And here's where it gets tricky. Even within a single city, some areas will be treated to view of the total eclipse, while others will not. https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/digital-originals/what-to-know-2024-total-solar-eclipse/3499936/

You can watch the eclipse with your eclipse glasses, but a telescope—with the proper, safe filter—will make viewing the eclipse even more amazing.

The April 8, 2024, total solar eclipse will produce stunning views across North America. While anyone along the eclipse path with a clear sky will see the spectacular event, the best view might be 50,000 feet in the air, aboard NASA's WB-57 jet planes.

For people in the path of totality, the moon will completely block the sun for a short time. These few minutes will be the only time that it will be safe to look directly toward the sun. For people who ARE NOT in the path of totality, you will need to wear specialized eye protection designed for solar viewing.

Tools In-Depth Profiling With Key Players and Recent Developments, Forecast Period: 2021-2031

Tools Market Research, 2032

The global tools market size was valued at $91.8 billion in 2022, and is projected to reach $153.2 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 5.2% from 2023 to 2032. Tools encompass a wide range of manually and externally powered tools such as hand tools, and power tools, including garden tools. Hand tools are operated manually for cutting, gripping, and shaping metal, wood, or other materials. On the other hand, power tools are powered through electricity, or via pressurized air. Power tools make it easier for the operator to perform any task with less effort, thereby increasing productivity. Together these tools enable a range of tasks in woodworking, repair & renovation, and maintenance applications, along with various others.

According to UN forecasts, the world population is expected to increase from 8 billion in 2023 to 9.7 billion by 2050. Countries in the Asian and African continents are projected to play an important role in the global population growth and urbanization. This will lead to overcrowding of the cities in the world, which will require new buildings to be constructed along with other public infrastructure. For example, owing to overcrowding in the capital city Jakarta, Indonesia, government officials have planned to shift its capital to Nusantra, where several new buildings will be constructed. Similarly, in March 2023, the government of India considered a proposal to build eight new cities across the country, which may cost more than $360 million. Furthermore, residential, and commercial buildings such as shopping malls, hospitals, schools, and others are also being constructed across the globe. For instance, as of January 2023, a well-known building developer ‘Triple Five Group’ has planned to construct American Dream Mall near Everglades National Park in Florida. Furthermore, during construction, different big and small power and manual tools such as drills, material removal, saws, wrenches, demolition, hammers, and others are used in large numbers. Moreover, once the building has been constructed and finished, garden tools such as shears and pruning tools, striking tools, digging tools, blowers, land mowers, and others are used for creating and maintaining gardens. Thus, owing to an increase in demand for tools, major companies are expanding their production capabilities as well as opening new facilities in different parts of the world. For instance, in August 2022, Milwaukee Tool inaugurated its newest tool manufacturing plant in West Bend, Wisconsin, U.S. Thus, the rising number of buildings across the world is driving the growth of the global tools market. Moreover, demand for furniture is also increasing, as it is a primary need of any office and home. Commonly used furniture such as chairs, beds, tables, cabinets, and others are widely made using wood as well as other materials such as metal, and plastic. However, furniture made with wood is in high demand owing to its various features such as durability, premium appeal, high resale value, environment friendliness, and many more. Since, hand and power tools are extensively used for making furniture, the growing demand for furniture is also expected to have a positive influence on the tools market growth.

North America accounted for the highest market share in 2022 and Asia-Pacific is expected to grow with a higher CAGR throughout the projected period. North America is witnessing a rapid rise in construction activities in the major cities. For instance, according to the data from the U.S. Census Bureau, the spending in the construction sector increased from nearly $1,200 billion in January 2017, to nearly $1,600 billion in January 2023. The construction sector is a major user of power and hand tools, thus rise in the construction sector is expected to boost the tools market growth. Moreover, the DIY culture in the U.S., and Canada is also positively affecting the market growth. According to the data published by Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies in 2021, around $797 is spent each year on do-it-yourself (DIY) projects by an average homeowner in the U.S. On the other hand, this expansion of the tools market in Asia-Pacific is attributable to rapid economic growth, and population growth, in countries such as China, India, Vietnam, and Indonesia, which eventually is expected to drive demand in the construction sector.

Unit 01: Launching into Nature Interpretation

I grew up in the city of Vaughan, boasting a population of over 300,000 people as of 2017. I live in a cozy house with my family amidst a bustling neighborhood, and we have the biggest backyard on the whole street. My mom said that one reason we moved into this house was because of the large backyard, as it was good for our dog to run around in. It has a huge tree right in the center, with long, thick branches poking out of it. One summer, my stepdad helped me put up a tire swing off one of the largest branches. It would always fill with water after it rained, which was pretty often as it was a particularly rainy time. I remember swinging the tire against the tree so it would bounce off and make the water spill out of it. By the end of the summer, I didn’t spend too much time playing with the tire swing because the rainwater would annoy me a lot. Instead, I spent a lot of my time playing along the street with my neighbors. We would play grounders on the playground, go biking in the local parks, and play manhunt using our garages. Sometimes we would trade silly bands, staying out until it got dark so we could see if they actually glow in the dark. This never worked, though, because there were streetlights at every corner that never really let the sky get fully dark. Although our neighborhood had more than the average amount of greenery and parks for such a populated neighborhood in Vaughan, I don’t remember ever truly feeling a connection or appreciation for nature growing up. I was mainly surrounded by “city life”: concrete, houses, buildings, and plazas… it was rare to see a pretty sunset over a calm lake. 

I switched schools at the beginning of fifth grade. I had met a girl in my class who became my locker partner, and she convinced me to go to an all-girls overnight camp with her in the summer. I went to the camp but got placed in a younger age group. In all honesty, I never even saw my friend there. I didn’t enjoy it. I didn’t enjoy being bitten by mosquitos, I didn’t enjoy being around a bunch of younger kids, I didn’t enjoy not having the freedom to do what I wanted, I didn’t enjoy not having my friend there, I didn’t enjoy the small portions of food. One time, we did a camping trip where we canoed to an “island” and had to sleep near the lake in tents. It sounds nice, right? Nope. The counselors set up their tents on the soft sandy beach. We were stuck setting up tents further back, near the branchy forest. We didn’t have a soft cushion of sand to sleep on. I slept with a branch poking into my back. My first “immersion” into nature sucked, and I was more than ready to go home. As middle school ended, some of my friends from my extracurricular art program told me about another overnight camp they went to. Their stories were completely different than what I had heard in fifth grade: they told me about girls giving themselves piercings in the cabins. I thought that was insane… I had to see this for myself. I signed up for this camp, and at the end of August off we went! And you know what? I had a blast! Unfortunately, there were no DIY piercings. Fortunately, I spent all my time outside and LOVED it! Still do!

It was one of the first times in my life that I saw a sky full of stars. In Vaughan, there are only 3 at most. In Haliburton, my friends and I would lie on the boat dock for hours before bed just stargazing. One guy from our group even brought a $1000 telescope, and we got to see the moon and all of its craters! Another time, we jumped into the lake with our clothes on because we forgot to change into our bathing suits. During my free time, my group mates and I would explore the nearby forests and beaches, always ending our adventures with a view of the lake. I even tried tubing for the first time! So much water got in my eyes, but I did it again that same day! I was a camper here for 3 years, and a counselor for 2. I had felt a sense of place. That camp is my happy place, and the first spot I think of when I'm feeling down. The staff, the campers, and my friends were all a crucial part of that feeling. I knew I wanted to share my love of camping with others. I became a nature interpreter, leading hiking groups to introduce campers to the local ecology and beautiful landscapes. I enjoyed connecting younger generations to nature, the same way I had been.

That experience ignited a passion in me. I started seeking out camping experiences, such as back-country camping in the Bruce Peninsula and car camping at McCrae Lake. I even branched out my interest educationally, taking environmental science courses and going on to pursue higher education in environmental sustainability. I am forever thankful to my friends who convinced me to go with their crazy stories. If it wasn’t for my curiosity, I never would have ended up with such a priceless experience.
