social justice
I've written a manuscript about the non-linear process of healing from sexual violence, taking a stance against a huge patriarchal power, named John of God, and outlining various paths I took to becoming who I am today. My existence as resistance. My voice as my sword. To cut through the deafening silence. Stay tuned for the release of the memoirs.
panels & poetry
At times I shared my poetry at venues such as Labyrinth and Bar Bario in Amsterdam. Speaking on sacred rage, spiritual abuse, artistic justice, and (de)colonization.

collaborations & advocacy
Pictured here: the panel after the dance theater production THE RITE - a fight against femicide, in collaboration with the City of Amsterdam and local police, crisis centers, and people who lost loved ones to gender based violence or have survived it to share their story.
Additionally, I have co-founded Rest/Resist with Tania Shoukair. Rest/Resist is an organization with which we organize workshops and events using decolonized healing practices in community. It is a community of activists, artists, and healers, which rose from the necessity of creating a nurturing space for activists fighting for a free Palestine - increasing it to the greater umbrella of global decolonization and reclaiming (indigenous) roots.
