Where I'm from has never been a short answer.

I'm Egyptian and Lebanese by blood and American by immigration. For years I worked for the UN, across seven countries and several warzones, before I left. I've been moving between worlds ever since.

I travel and share what I've lived, both in writing and in speaking, about identity, belonging, and what shapes people when they're far from home. Those stories are what I'm gathering into a book now.

Read the ongoing work on Letters From Elsewhere.

I still don't have a short answer. I've just gotten better at telling the long one.
