About

I was born in the US but never lived there, I went with my parents to KSA where we lived for 10 years in Jaddah. My parents are Syrians hence they went back there where I lived for 12 years.

After I graduated from English literature department in Damascus University, I wanted to pursue my studies so I went to Lebanon where I lived there for the past four years doing my masters and a little bit of activism.

Lebanon had a huge impact on me and I think the person I am today has very much to do with Beirut, precisely Hamra street, and the amazing people I met there.

I enjoy photography, drawing cartoons, and writing Arabic articles which I do not do most of the time.

I am vegetarian, Anarchist and genderqueer.

A person who cries genuinely while watching Daddy Long Legs cartoon.

I will be writing on my Anarchism and queerness later on this page but I am in the middle of writing my thesis on Iraqi Jews’ literature right now so wish me luck and stay tuned!

    Fadi, your comment has been deleted because it implied subtle flirting. If you’re looking for women this is not the place for you.
