I am retracting all of the comments I liked that defended Qwel without fully acknowledging the situation.
Qwel is an adult and someone many people looked up to, but in the end, she wasn't who she appeared to be. She disrespected and lied not only to the victims but also to her own community.
At this point, Qwel is essentially in a checkmate position. If she doesn't make a public response, address the situation, or take accountability, she's putting her career at serious risk. She has collaborated with major artists like OR30 and CG5, as well as companies. She's also known for creating a game aimed at children, and even Scholastic a well-known publisher of children's books has collaborated with her.
If these collaborators become aware of the situation and believe it reflects poorly on their values, it could seriously damage her reputation and career.
the reason why Palestine isn’t being seen anymore is because there’s barely any journalists left. Lebanon is going through a severe escalation. Palestine is still going through a genocide. 150k people were killed in Sudan. People in congo are being killed. Don’t stop talking.
