Zaina Arafat - You Exist Too Much

Adam Vitcavage is joined by Zaina Arafat to discuss her debut book You Exist Too Much. We discuss how she wanted to subvert expectations for what a Palestinian-American looks like as well as what it was like for her writing for American media outlets in a post-9/11 world. Please consider donating to an organization that helps fight tyranny in America of your choosing. I'm choosing to highlight the Okra Project, is a collective that seeks to address the global crisis faced by Black Trans people by bringing home cooked, healthy, and culturally specific meals and resources to Black Trans People wherever we can reach them.
