I had the pleasure of presenting for the first time at the International Autobiography Association - Chapter of the Americas 2025 in Cape May, NJ.

I presented a Palestinian Autoethnography comparing my experiences to the experiences of an unnamed narrator in Sayed Kashua’s Let It Be Morning.

Meeting @malakyonis.bsky.social at #NCTE24 was such a crucial moment in year 10! It because so clear to me that mentoring new teachers and making this work sustainable is work I need to lean into!

I am always inspired when I am in the presence of Dr. J 🤎✊🏾 She carries the heavy burden of being a revolutionary with such strength & grace.
I long to be like her every day. Hugs and love, Sawsan.

I selected it as a read for my adult book club because it’s such an exceptional novel!

EXCELLENT to see you again! You are phenomenal!

Saw my fav author again, this time at #NCTE2024 Fun fact: During my first MS teaching interview, when they asked which book would I teach and why, I responded with _Attack of the Black Rectangles_ by A.S King! Because it centers student voice & advocates for anti-censorship! ❣️ @as-king.bsky.social

We’re miles apart, yet we’ve always been deeply connected—and will always be! 🫶🏼

No surprise that there’s #StandingRoomOnly for
Emily Meixner, Penny Kittle, and colleagues!! #ncte24 “Find something to delight in in students’ writing” Writers need critique and encouragement. Work from strengths to move the writers forward.

Another full house at this college writing session featuring one of my former students and other mentors! #NCTE24

Okay. I *think* your name is Malek! If you see this reach out! I need to make sure we stay connected. ❤️

You found me! 🫶🏼

Oh my are you looking for me?? 🥹

Hi #NCTE24

If you’re a beautiful young teacher I spoke to last night and you told me ‘names matter,’

I need to find you and follow you and tell you that you made my entire life. Thank you! Please be here!

Please read books. I’m begging you.

If anyone’s looking for alternatives to GoodReads, I highly recommend StoryGraph. It’s owned by a black woman, and the platform is so much more accessible and easy to use.

Petition to make "Hi, what are you reading?" the conventional greeting.

"How are you doing?" hasn't been appropriate for some time now. Deprecated.

Libraries are precious and beautiful and must be defended
