"A presence meant to calm and soothe, forget the void of living without the sound of children’s laughter Four years lost since my ovarian cancer diagnosis; These mobiles no longer inspire me" - @sorayafata


Wrote a short piece on Jewish and Jew-ish musicians in Chicago, featuring some of the best, including my husband! jewish-chicago.org/Mag/tmpl-artic…


Feeling like a real international writer now that this Canadian based magazine edited my piece to read “neighbourhood” instead of “neighborhood!”

I wish people would stop asking me “Is she your first?" 😕 ow.ly/hwOU50KPAjg



In my latest essay, I explore the fragile work life balance that comes with seeking ongoing fertility treatment while working full time and how the workplace flexibilities due to the pandemic made it more manageable. @TheMuse Read it online at themuse.com/advice/inferti…

Sharing this months late. Clearly I need to step up my twitter game!

Soraya Fata is a 2021 Brushes with Cancer Inspiration. Recently, she wrote a special guest blog about her journey with cancer and infertility. For Soraya, Mother’s Day serves as a reminder of her pain- of her story of cancer and infertility. bit.ly/3vnJrSh

A truly meaningful collaboration for me; I’m glad we were able to memorialize the experience in this conversation.

Ep1 of #BrushesWithCancer Spotlights, artist Shefali Khanna & inspiration Soraya Fata talk about their path together...from building a relationship, telling Soraya’s story through art, and what they will continue to carry with them from their experience bit.ly/3lCSvii



Kudos, @joshuasiegal!

I’ve been working on a novel since July, but hit a wall 100 pages in around October. So excited to start Jumpstart Your Novel @StoryStudio with @bhurley on Monday and get writing again.

New year, new resolve? Some of our winter classes are perfect for the "create and regenerate" mood we're feeling. Register ASAP, some of these start soon! storystudiochicago.org/classes/

I virtually met @adamm0rgan at the @StoryStudio Writers Festival this year and his session on culture criticism was one of my favorites. My one outstanding question is, how long until a book, film, tv show or music album is stale and no longer of interest to publications?

Ep 12: Adam Morgan @adamm0rgan, Founder of @ChicagoRevBooks, and Todd Van Luling @toddvanluling, Incoming Editor-in-Chief, on Writing Great Book Reviews, Bylines, and Getting Started with Culture Criticism podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/chi…



Read my critique of the Israeli TV Series Tehran in ⁦⁦@jdforward⁩. It’s eerily relevant given recent events around Iran's top nuclear scientist. Thank you ⁦@adamm0rgan⁩ and ⁦@StoryStudio⁩ for helping me become a cultural critic. forward.com/culture/457788…


Friends, take a break from turkey eating and read my article published by The Forward yesterday about my return to the Midwest and my newfound gratitude for family.

Though my secular Muslim father participated politely in our family's Jewish traditions, I always felt different. And after moving to D.C., I rarely went home, nor kept up with the lives of my cousins who were living the Midwest life I had escaped. forward.com/culture/459188…



Perfect timing, as I was just creating a 2020 Winter Reading List (recommendations welcome). Huge congrats @SaharMustafah Love seeing Middle Eastern representation. nytimes.com/interactive/20…


If you are new to the writing scene, do yourself a favor and buy this book by @WindyLynnHarris She explains everything I’ve been too embarrassed to ask instructors at @StoryStudio, from categorizing short stories/essays for marketing purposes to writing a proper cover letter.

Absolutely inspired by the writers and hosts of @StoryStudio at the #SSCFest2020. I can’t wait to keep working on my book. I’m going to take the advice @SaharMustafah, author of #thebeautyofyourface would have given to herself 5 years ago “You can do this!”
