Book cover for Unmuted: A Poetry Collection of Healing, Identity, and Reclamation
Because silence—particularly the kind imposed on the marginalized, the inconvenient, the "too much"—is not neutral. It's compliance. And I was never very good at that.

“(In the hierarchy of migration, “expat” is largely reserved for white Westerners who leave their homes for another country, usually because the money’s better there. When other people do this, they might be deemed “aliens” or “illegals” or at best “economic migrants.”
Omar El Akkad, One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This

“It's obviously not impossible, because it's happening...”

“A rat in a maze is free to go anywhere, as long as it stays inside the maze.”

“Ignoring isn’t the same as ignorance, you have to work at it.”

“A political system that won’t restrict firearms even after a shooter massacres classrooms full of children, a system that shrugs when a regime murders and dismembers a journalist because that regime controls an inordinate amount of oil, a system that won’t flinch at the images of starving babies when it has the power to save their lives—what manner of resistance can’t such a system learn to abide? What use is any of it, what use?”
Omar El Akkad, One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This
