For most Black women, seeing ourselves portrayed in the media is a painful experience. Other people see these stereotypical depictions and set ridiculous expectations that every Black woman should be the same. I am here to tell them otherwise. Through this photo series, I asked a group of young Black women to share their feelings about the way society tells us we should look, think and act, and how they’ve responded to those expectations in their own lives.
As a second-generation nuss-nuss (“half n’ half”) Arab American who is Lebanese and German, it was only in my adult life that I took a keen interest in my grandparents’ language. I took a standard Arabic course in Seattle, then traveled to Lebanon to learn the spoken language, only to be evacuated in the summer of 2006 when bombs started dropping on Beirut during a brief war between Hezbollah and Israel.
