About Me

I am a student, a sister, a friend, a cousin. I am fun. I am smart. I like to dance. I over-analyze things, and sometimes trip out. I like to learn. I'm a phd student in art history and museum studies, i hate mosquitos, especially the one that fricken ate my foot last night, i don't particularly like to describe myself, but i admire those who can do it really well. What else....i'm Palestinian, i'm from the Bay Area, i love california and new york and i'm growing quite fond of the midwest (don't diss!). I love to travel!

My Interests

art, travel, music, people, culture, coffee, red wine, chocolate, hiking, biking (but i only have a 3 speed, so chill out), camping, discovering things, exploring other things, making art, photography, dancing, jewelery and other intricate things that take a long time to make...

I'd like to meet:

Artists who believe art has the power to change things, musicians who speak the truth, activists, academics who are conscious of their privilege and recognize the ivory tower in which they reside, people who like to dance, others who like to take pictures, people from other countries, people from other parts of the U.S....

Music:

Gigi, Mos Def, Oum Kalthoum, Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson (pre-freak out), D'Angelo, Anything with tight drumming that moves me, singing music like Indigo Girls or Norah Jones, Beastie Boys, Black Eyes Peas, Brazilian Girls, Erykah Badu, Jill Scott, Lila Downs, Manu Chao, Ozomatli, Antibalas, Meshell N'degeocello, The Police, Sade, Zap Mama...

Movies:

I don't watch enough! But I've enjoyed many...I tend to like foreign films that show me what life is like in the streets..Y Tu Mama Tambien, or dreamy movies like Para Agua Como Chocolate

Television:

I usually figure out something is good by the time it's turned into a re-run.

Books:

Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Isabel Allende, Paulo Coelho

Heroes:

MAMA!!
