Wafa: Continuing to Make Waves!

Wafa, Wafa? Where art thou, Wafa? When one of the strongest, most influential and moving voices is no where to be found, it does cause your ears to ring a bit funny - (Though yes, that could be from the bitter cold weather in the New York!)

So I just heard from Wafa and was really excited to post her message up here..

Our co-fellow Wafa finds herself in a warm, sunny San Francisco, preparing to depart for Long Beach on Friday. Unlike the rain and wind chill that has frozen most of New York to the sidewalks, a smiling sun welcomes Wafa onto Long Beach on Sunday. But what I find so amazing about Wafa's message is this next part: "Yesterday I was in Santa Cruz, where I had two interviews, one for a documentary film on violence against women, and the second was for the community TV and radio of Santa Cruz.

"Today, I was at link TV and KPOO Radio where I was also interviewed to talk about media situation in Palestine, another guest was from Ethiopia."

I am thrilled at the fact that Wafa is finding channels and outlets to have her voice and opinions heard. If it is vital enough for us to learn about the American Culture, it is just as critical for American audiences to learn about each of our lives.. After all, isn't that what the greatest part of this fellowship is supposed to be?

Well done, Wafa!! Well done!
