The Mission

I cherish harmony in community, I’ve made it my mission & my passion to make sure it thrives through education, art, and community involvement. These elements help create connections and build relationships that enhance our lives and foster belonging. Growing up under apartheid made me feel like a worthless speck of dust; the forced lifestyle strips away our humanity, turning life into a daily struggle for survival. Now, I recognize my worth and use it as a foundation for everything I do. I will strive to remember what they want us to forget: that we deserve to live and will teach others the value of life.

The VISION

As a proud Palestinian, an artist, an educator, and most importantly, as a fellow human being, I strive to share my extensive knowledge and personal experiences, along with the stories of my people’s ongoing struggles as well as the many pillars and blessings that uplift our communities.

I endeavor to be actively engaged in community life, learn from others’ perspectives and experiences, and simply live in a way that reflects our shared humanity.
