When I was asked to edit the Food Issue of Palestine in America, so many experiences went behind my emphatic yes: Hunting with North American Indigenous mentors on Pine Ridge Reservation, my maternal family’s history of enslavement in the South, seeing fields of cotton represent liberation on an Indigenous-owned farm on the Gila River Reservation, the violence I faced when I spoke out against Zionism and racism in my early 20s, and my friends crying as their family members were murdered by Israel in Gaza and the West Bank.

Through this edition, I have offered you readers a mere glimpse into the rich world that is Palestinian film–there are so many artists, producers, curators, editors, and more that I would love to share with you, but we only had so much space and time. That said, I am thrilled to be able to offer you a piece of my teachers and peer practitioners who are rebuilding the Palestinian image archive.

I never set out to be a chef.

I know it seems like a lie. My parents owned a restaurant for most of my life, and I know the ins and outs of the business. I also worked in other restaurants over the years, and I have so many friends and family in the industry. When I moved to Washington, D.C. in 2017, I started hosting dinner parties, sometimes for up to 50 people. I was never happier than when I was feeding people and seeing the joy on their faces as they took that first bite.

This is the perfect time for Palestine in America’s political issue; the 2020 presidential campaign is in full effect, and Democratic hopefuls are becoming more and more comfortable criticizing Israel. Today, one of our Congress members is a Palestinian woman (Rashida Tlaib), a few other Palestinians are running for other offices across the country, and there are many others who are currently working on political campaings, such as Linda Sarsour and Amer Zahr, who are working on the Sanders’ campaign.
