Scholar. Activist. Educator. Mentor.

I am an oral historian, ethnographer, and cultural critic - a cross-disciplinary scholar, community organizer and educator who has roots in Palestine and the Bay Area. As a person of exile and a struggler for liberation, I seek and find home and movement in my people wherever I goes.

Scholar

I am a critical scholar of race, feminisms, and liberation, grounded in my orientation toward social justice and accountability to my community. I research 20th and 21st century third world social movements on a quest to document, define and reimagine revolution, decolonization, and liberation.

Activist

As an organizer, I am committed to people-centered, collectively determined community organizing praxis in the struggle for justice and liberation in my various communities and in joint struggle. Through this, I ground my pedagogical praxis in and out of the classroom.

Educator & Mentor

For over a decade, I have spent countless hours both in and outside of the classroom creating programming, developing curricula, facilitating workshops, and mentoring youth and student organizations and individuals in institutional and popular education forums.
