Years ago, when I was in my 20s, a bold and artistically daring older friend who has since passed on gave me what I often think was the best advice I have ever gotten. I was worrying what 'people would think' of a decision I had made, and she said, "Amanda, There is no audience."
This will anger my fellow Arabs and Muslims. I’m afraid to share this but it must be said.
I am Palestinian. And I grew up an orphan due to the colonization of Palestine.
This thread bears my experience growing up in this condition and why I fear for Gaza’s 50,000 orphans.
