About

For generations, those with roots in the Arabic-speaking world and the diaspora have been continually exposed to characters and stories that do not authentically represent us. In most cases, preconceived notions and misconceptions about the region and her people are harmful and lacking in any depth or nuance. But we have always known these stories to be false, and in following with the rich history of writers, artists, and creatives across the region, our organization was born.
