Kurdish-American writer, spoken-word artist, poet and columnist. Conceived and raised by human rights activists and survivors of the notorious prisons of the Islamic Republic of Iran, my commitment to human rights was developed at an early age.
I spent formative years of my childhood as a refugee in several countries before arriving in the United States. I pull from my rich history as a refugee to weave passionate stories of labor and resistance. I use poetry, and artistic expression as a form of creative response to the atrocities in the world.
I have been writing and performing spoken word at national and international conferences/events since childhood.
My lesser known works are my poetic depictions of human exploits, perversions, and passions.
My work has been featured in poetry anthologies and online publications. I am known in the Los Angeles literary circles and frequently featured guest on local radio, poetry workshops, and festivals.
