Short excerpt from the article: 
Our grandmothers’ tears of Tatreez live on through us. Her tightly sewn stitches hold hope, resistance, and sumud...our cultural inheritance. We are more than fierce grief...we are ancestral indigeneities in human form dreamed into being by our ancestors. We were formed by dreams, sand and stardust but we are shaped by love. We are Palestine. With Palestine, and so much of the world, facing genocides and health catastrophes, it is a crucial time for all of us to continue building our community movements…demanding racial, gender, and land justice.
