There is a sense of freedom that overcomes me when I am completely vulnerable on stage. It's a powerful feeling.
Merci for capturing that moment @BenjaminWiacek !
The photo was taken on Friday at our @SkinMutts 'Through Words' performance at @ZinnemaBXL

Of all philanthropic funding 4 climate change, 90% goes to organizations led by white people, 80% to orgs led by men;
Only 0.2% of all foundation funding focuses explicitly on women & environment.
We can’t save our planet with one hand tied behind our back.

Today, I had the pleasure of moderating a panel discussion on ensuring there are more #AfricanVoices in #conservation storytelling at the #JacksonWildSummit. The panel consisted of the ACV Kenya and Rwanda fellows

Going through old photos. My body is in a state of confusion, it doesn't know whether to smile or cry. It's doing both, simultaneously.
The photo was taken in the old city of Sana'a, #Yemen in November 2014.

So this might be a strange request, but are there any female Artists (40+ years old) willing to act as a mentor for me? 😳☺️ It would mean a few online chats/talks about harnessing a career in the Arts later in life? I promise you interesting chats!

This is a hard one to share, but for some reason, I feel the urge to.
Many of us buried our inner child long before we were adults because we falsely believed that our innocence, playfulness, or curiosity were the cause of harm.

Dear #writersoftwitter,
Do you know of grants available for #Arab #writers in the diaspora who write in English?
Or grants for writers who are parents and are struggling to make time for their Art between financial and parenting responsibilities?
Thanks!

The Hidde Life of Trees by Peter Wohlleben is a great reminder of how all living beings are interconnected.
