I am a Palestinian from Gaza. I am a journalist. I am a mother. I am a Muslim. This blog is about the trials of raising my children between spaces and identities; displacement and occupation; and everything that entails from potty training to border crossings. My husband is a Palestinian refugee denied his right of return to Palestine, and thus OUR right to family life. Together, we endure a lot, and the personal becomes political. This is our story.
Journalist, mom, occupied Palestinian-all packed into one.
So I've been a little slack posting lately-story of my life. I would like to share some photos of Yousuf and Noor during Eid ul fitr, as celebrated here 
in the Raleigh-Durham area. Enjoy!
