Performance Poet. Storyteller. Artist.
MY STORY
As a child of immigrants, born on the coast of BC Canada, my art is how I reckon with my identity whilst I live in rural and white Nelson BC.
I am Lebanese, Iraqi and Palestinian. I am my culture personified. Since I live out of context to my origins, I rely on stories and perspectives inherited from those who came before me.
My current projects, a spoken word series and a memoir, are anchors to my longing to belong, to my people, from afar.

POEM BOOTH
In 2014 I bought my first typewriter and became a busking poet. I write people poems about anything they'd like. They give me a topic and off I go tapping words onto page. Today, my portable desk has become a booth where I also sell prints, cards, stickers and framed poems.
