STORY TIME
I am an odd mix of things. My dad was born in Egypt and my mom was born on an airforce base in Ohio. And just like my parents marriage, I love things that don’t belong together. I love art films and rom coms, Molokhia and In N’ Out burgers, great literature and terrible puns. Confusing in person, great for ideas.
