This week on the Sumud Podcast, we’re joined by Maya Abdallah, an artist and activist. Maya’s work unearths the depths of generational trauma, resilience, and identity, and her viral poetry has created a space for Palestinian voices in places that often silence them. She is also a writer and filmmaker, using storytelling across mediums to amplify her community’s truth. In this powerful conversation, Maya shares her hunger strike journey as a student at @UCLA, where she launched her hunger strike demanding the university divest from genocide and support Palestinian liberation. From the physical and emotional toll to the unwavering clarity, it gave her about Palestinian resistance. She opens up about her mental health, confronting the stigma around mental health, especially in our communities. This episode is raw, unfiltered, and deeply grounded in love with her people. 🔑 In this conversation, we explore: ➡ The personal and political cost of hunger striking ➡ How poetry becomes a tool of healing and resistance ➡ The impact of social media visibility on artists of conscience ➡ Arab womanhood, mental health, and inherited grief ➡ Holding joy and mourning in the fight for Palestinian liberation This video is for educational purposes only.
