10 Books To Read This International Women’s Day
That is not to say that that is the only reason to read these books, in fact they’re just as good any other day of the year. The reason I am bringing all these books into one list is because they are written by incredible female authors (besides the one) but feature some of the…

The Right To Choose
A while back I decided I was going to minimize the amount of arguments I was getting into with people over feminism, simply because you have to ensure that the person in front of you has to be receptive as well as possess a slight sense of empathy, something that clearly not everyone possesses.

Safe Hands
I have walked to the gates a dozen times, locked eyes with whoever was standing at the door, and firmly asked if it was possible for me and whoever I was with at the time to walk in the palace and look around, and every single time, the response would be a big fat seemingly…

Green doors, podcasts, and traffic
I realize nowadays that it is hard to write when you are tired. The desire to write is present, but a 9 to 5 with social responsibilities and the commute, which is a totally new concept to me, a person that couldn’t wait to learn to drive just so that I can put on my…

You definitely weren’t anyone’s favourite year, in fact people have been comparing you to 2016 as if we even still remember what that year was like. Personally, you were a year of huge growth for me, and I’m not talking physically (Although getting a gym membership was a big thing for me) but also mentally,…

On becoming a hermit and coping mechanisms…
It has been a very long time, and I must be excused for life has been overwhelming, so much so that I it has been two months since I finished reading any book. Books are easy enough to start reading, but its the commitment and dedication to finish that is hard to come by.…

Inthaar // Warning
Walking into Waraq Art space is an experience within itself, let alone walking into it during an exhibit. Waraq, located near the heart of Tripoli by BenAshour, is an underground sort of headquarters for artists and art-appreciators where countless art workshops have taken place, and recently a Van Gogh day on the anniversary of the artist.…

Is it “love what you do” or “do what you love”?
Being proud of your work is not easy, especially in a place like Libya where many work in pursuit of financial stability in a time where everything and anything is all but stable. Which is why I am more than ecstatic to present The Saturday Show in its online form. With teaching, I was…
