With all the hatred and negativity going on in today’s society being proud of my identity is much more challenging; especially when more than half of my identity is criticized and villainized in major media outlets. Everyone’s identity consists of multiple components‚ for me‚ my family’s background and religious beliefs are two major components that shape my identity. Post 9/11 people who identify as Arabs and/or Muslims have been looked down upon‚ even more so now due to recent political events

Radicalesbians – The Woman-Identified Woman In their paper “The Woman-Identified Woman” (1970)‚ the collective Radicalesbians‚ much like Wittig will do in the following decade‚ focuses on the marginalized sexual standpoint of ‘women’ and ‘lesbian’ that emerge from the intersection of the personal and the political circa late 1960’s/early 1970’s.

We had a lot of fun

My Proud Moments as Being a Parent My father always said to me and my siblings when we were growing up‚ “You’ll never know how proud we are of you until you become a parent yourself.” Raising my children is a full-time job‚ and even though they have left the nest I can still remember the times that they have made me so proud. Some of the memorable moments are me becoming a parent‚ graduating from college‚ and watching my daughter walk down the aisle on her wedding day. First of all‚ the moment
