Note of Appreciation:

I am my grandmothers’ dream, and she is mine. We exist together through Tatreez, Indigenous Palestinian textiles and embroidery. Together, we share cultural memory, ancestral wisdom, and visions of new futures. Thank you, Qafiiyah Review and Noor Magazine, for supporting my work and my voice. I am deeply grateful to represent my family and homeland through art and poetry. I admire your courage and resolve in showcasing Indigenous Palestinian voices during this turbulent and violent time. It means so much to me to be included, beside so many talented creators, within the pages of your publications. In appreciation, Micaela Kaibni Raen

"Our grandmothers' tears of Tatreez live on through us. Tatreez will always hold hope, tears and sumud...our cultural inheritance. Their gift to us for the enduring. We are more than fierce grief...we are ancestral indigeneities in human form dreamed into being by our ancestors. We are strength, poetry, art, magic and so much more. We were formed by dreams, sand and stardust but we are shaped by love. We can keep going through this time. We can and will endure." -- Micaela Kaibni Raen

Poem: On the Night of Invasion  *Yalda Award Winner* & Nominated for "Best of the Net" Award 2024

Global Genocides
& Health Catastrophes

The multiple genocides and populations facing violence and starvation has been unbearable to witness and is our call to action. We must all find out place in the struggle for justice and human rights. We will mourn, more than ever before, shedding tears for Palestine, Lebanon, Congo, Sudan, Haiti, Syria, and so many more areas with people struggling to survive disease, starvation and violent attacks. Many are planning protests, performances, teach-ins, letter/email/phone campaigns, community outreach, and more. As we move forward, here is my prayer…
