Let’s Talk About Palestine.

I’ve spent the past few months researching and staying up-to-date on the genocide in Gaza to help spread awareness and combat misinformation that is being spread by Israeli apologists. I have been privileged enough to be connected to Palestinian families directly and have made remarkable friends in Gaza.

I created this Substack to tell their stories, and as a means to organize resources and information to help you better understand what’s happening and how you can help Palestinians in Gaza Strip.

As a general disclaimer, I am not Palestinian, SWANA, or Muslim. But I shouldn’t have to be directly affected to speak up. I have the privilege to be living somewhere safe and I will use any platform I have to spread awareness. It is my responsibility as someone with privilege, as a writer, as an independent journalist, as a fellow human being, to be a voice.

The ongoing genocide should not have to directly impact you or your loved ones for you to do something or say something. The only difference between you and them is that you were born somewhere with the privilege to remain silent and unaffected. Don’t be complicit in genocide.
