يعني شو عندك هيك أشيا بتحسي إنه هن اللي علموا فيك؟ مش كتابة معينة، بس style معين، قران تفكير معين.

Yasmina BitarGUEST
I think, I think the reason that, um, I kind of am drawn to these very niche and, um, kind of complex themes is because of the media that I grew up consuming.

Yasmina BitarGUEST
So, like every other Arab, I was raised watching Al Jazeera, and I was raised watching CNN all at the same time.

Yasmina BitarGUEST
And I read my grandfather's Edward Said books, and I also loved watching Disney Channel, and I loved reading Hello! Magazine, and I loved pop culture.

Yasmina BitarGUEST
And I think everything that I write is almost a, a blend of all of these things.
