The self you leave behind is only a skin you have outgrown. Don’t grieve for it. Look to the wet, raw, unfinished self, the one you are becoming. The world, too, sheds its skin: politicians, cataclysms, ordinary days. It’s easy to lose this tenderly unfolding moment. Look for it as if it were the first green blade after a long winter. Listen for it as if it were the first clear tone in a place where dawn is heralded by bells.

And if all that fails,

wash your own dishes. Rinse them. Stand in your kitchen at your sink. Let cold water run between your fingers. Feel it.

— Pat Schneider, “Instructions for the Journey”

You think about being small, a child. No. Smaller, a bird. Smaller still, a small bird. You think about the art of holding, of being held. This hand can crush you.

It’s women’s history month and I wanna talk about the Arab women I love and look up to

1)Djamila Bouhired: 

leading Algerian heroine and revolutionary, she played an instrumental role in triggering the Battle of Algiers and endured severe torture. Djamila was cognizant of her revolutionary spirit since childhood, When all the Algerian students repeated every morning “France is our mother”, Bouhired would stand up and scream “Algeria is our mother!”

2)Layla Al Attar: 

was one of Iraq’s most respected and influential painters in the 1970s and 80s and a leading figure in Arab art. following installation of one of her provocative pieces; which was a huge mosaic portrait of George H. W. Bush on the floor of the main entrance of Al Rasheed Hotel, where senior Iraqi officials stayed and held their press conferences, with the phrase “Bush is Criminal“ written beneath it forcing everyone who steps into the hotel to walk over the portrait of bush she installed. Layla was murdered alongside her husband by a U.S Missile attack that targeted the house she resided in, her daughter was blinded in the attack.

3)Leila Khaled: 

“Splashed across the pages of newspapers, many marvelled at how Khaled was so elegantly attired as she boarded planes with her male companions, dressed as if heading out on holiday while concealing weapons under her clothing. I wonder about her willingness to undergo a reported six plastic surgeries, while still in her late 20s, to remain unidentifiable and continue hijacking planes for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP). She shrugs off talk of the surgery with a deep exhale of her ever-present cigarette. She calls it “a minor sacrifice. Now women are going to change their faces, their lips, and all these plastic surgeries that they do to beautify themselves, but they didn’t beautify their minds.” She continues, “I did that. Beautified my mind.“”

4)Fatima Ahmed Ibrahim: 

Sudanese writer, revolutionary, socialist leader and women’s rights activist. She was the first woman in Africa and the Arab speaking world to become a member of parliament. In 1952 she founded the Sudanese Women’s Union with other women and fought for women’s rights across Sudan.

5)Souha Bechara: 

Lebanese revolutionary who endured and survived 10 years of grueling torture following a failed attempt to assasinate General Antoine Lahad of the SLA, a Zionist backed fascist militia
