Palestinian second generation refugee, mom and business owner here. Being in Jordan, we are blessed to have a community of like-minded people who talk, think and look like us. We have put our all into anything and everything we can do. We discovered that the most powerful tool was to support local businesses, local activists, local NGOs so that they can keep helping others. Without financial means, none of us can help Gaza. No one can and should shame you into making a living! Your gorgeous post about Jaffa cakes and it’s Palestinian origins is saved on my IG and comes up at every gathering. Your work is art that is meaningful and important for people of many cultures. People who have the time to “hate” are doing the opposite of helping, they could have used that time, energy and effort to do something meaningful instead. P.S. your next mission: find a cafe with better (and culturally appropriate) coffee and tell us all about it in a monetized collab!
