Guess what! I’m not the only one with a skate book coming out.

Collective Chaos: A Roller Derby Team Memoir by Samantha Tucker and Amy Spears is hot off the press from Ohio University Press. The book launch is at Two Dollar Radio Headquarters and I’m moderating the Q&A!

Poetry + Family Stories at Jewish Voice for Peace Central Ohio

This is an online event, so you don’t even have to leave your house!

Hear me read some poetry about being a Palestinian living in diaspora and tell the story of my family immigrating from Ramallah in the West Bank to Birmingham, Alabama. We’ll cover forced assimilation, generational trauma, Arabs and race, and all kinds of fun stuff because I like to make you laugh while telling you the world sucks. :)

It’s a free event sponsored by Jewish Voice for Peace - Central Ohio chapter. Register here for the Zoom link and click here to add this to your Facebook events calendar.
