New Arab Women-centered Films Are Not Just About Women
Too often, we are overwhelmed with woeful tales, painful memoirs and worn analyses of Arab/Muslim women.

What Is It About Bears? 10/23/18 by B Nimri Aziz
My editor at Natural History Magazine once remarked how, whenever their cover features a bear, sales rise.
