Bio:
Egyptian Born, Bronx Bred, I have had an incredibly difficult life where I don't regret one single moment because everything in succession has mounted up to who I am now. I have been to a number of other countries, some of the traveling was vacationing most of it I had no say in. I experienced more then 10 schools and a barrage of personal tutors. I'm Not Politically Correct, I am politically true. I believe political correctness was invented simply to make people feel more comfortable. Life, is not comfortable, the atrocities that are ignored because people are too concerned about Paris Hilton's jail time to pay attention to things that really matter make's ME uncomfortable. So fuck political correctness. I will never conform to this country's brainwashed mind frame. If you don't like who I am and what I have to say, than may Allah Bless you and Keep you Safe, I hope one day you find wisdom of your own, however, I myself will never cease my quest for knowledge and understanding. All my traveling and obstacles I've been through have taught me a number of things,
1. That people are beautiful and I want to spend the rest of my life in the struggle for liberation and freedom with the people of the world. Working class, marginalized communities, and people of color.
2. I can transcend gender roles and stereotypes as long as my mind is not conditioned by oppressive forces. Freedom lies within my mind. As long as I know who I am, societies superficial standards and obsessions are below me. I write my own destiny. Conformity is for suckers.
3. I want to continue to spend my whole life traveling and exploring so I can understand and gain compassion for people that I feel alienated from. The people that make my t-shirts in China. The people who cut my fruit in Mexico because...
4. The only reason that i get to enjoy some of the highest living standards in the world is because by living in this country I support the oppression of more than 80% of the entire global population.
5.The material things I own don't own me, at any moment. I should not feel imprisoned in a comfort-zone. Life is waiting for me.
With everything I have been through... I should be bitter. Tired of being tired.. but I'm not yet. I do not believe it is ok to stigmatize people for thier differences. I do not blame people for thier poverty or ignorance.I have seen many people redirect thier anger and frustrations at the wrong people instead of considering historical and socio-political factors.I celebrate diversity and I am always aware of practicing tollerance. I feel that people have the right to self-determination without the occupation, exploitation and dominance of another group telling them what they need. This Is my dream for a new world, the world I wish for my daughter to grow up in. She is my light my life and my faith, in change and in the possibility of revolution. I have not given up on people because great change does not come from the belief that we can do nothing, it comes from the idea that everything is something.
