ABOUT ME

Writing about yourself is like dancing about architecture. Still trying my best: Half-German, half-Egyptian, full-human. I am working in international development on technology cooperation for green tech. I am queer, vegetarian, and interested in intersectional feminism/social justice.

Making movies, writing, reading, making songs, create.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Smelling the possibility of the day when getting up early in the morning. Playing an instrument for an hour, trying to figure something out and finally hitting or strumming the right note or chord.
