What you NEED TO KNOW!

UNCC Wednesday March 28th 6pm at the BELK TOWER! BE THERE TO SHOW YOUR SUPPORT!!!!


I am not sure if everyone has been following what is going on in the news lately. It is really unfortunate events. Started with Trayvon Martin being shot and killed because he was suspected to be "suspicious". Following this event Saturday March 24th Shaima Al Awadi was beaten with a tire iron because she was a "terrorist". Where has Justice gone? WHY ARE INNOCENT PEOPLE BEING KILLED?!

I am making this event because I would like to help awareness and stand up for what I believe in. I would like to photograph females with hijabs on and a hoody/without hoodies. Also, if guys would like to join they can just wear hoodies with the hood up. We can do these in public spaces or in the photography studio. I feel like conceptual doing these out on public streets would get the message around in a better manner...

I was inspired through a friend when she showed me this picture, which you can look at on... http://dedazaghari.tumblr.com/post/19936302980/empirestateofnoor-hoodies-n-hijabs-stand-up#notes

For further Information about location please comment with times and where you think is best for you!
LET ME KNOW IF YOU ARE DOWN


The girls will be in hijabs and hoodies, or just hijabs and the guys will be in Hoodies. If you do not want to wear either you may choose to just have a piece of tape with RIPJustice, RIPTrayvon, or RIPshaima on it!




COME OUT! INSPIRATION CAME FROM THIS PICTURE.

Palestine

I am truly MISSING Palestine!

Here are some pictures from my Summer trip in 2011 to Palestine. These are from the I am truly Mediterranean Ocean. It's sad that half of the Palestinian population will never see this except in pictures... Israel Occupation is the cause. =[

SO Breath TAKING!

BEST PROFESSOR EVER

Heyyyyyy!!!

I am blogging to inform you guys about an awesome new blog by one of my professors Heather Freeman. She is one of my all time favorite professor. A very great person! Truely AWESOME mother!! =]

She has just recently made a blog with tutorials on how to use the different resources of PHOTOSHOP! AND IT'S FREE!!!!!! She is an amazing artists. I have taken multiple classes with her and was FORCED to watch her tutorials. HOWEVER, I must say with a semi-biased point of view she has the best.

Photographs

Here are just some random photographs I have taken this year.

F4mily Matters

A good friend of mine has his own clothing line. I wanted to make this blog just to support him. I think he has a prospective future ahead of him. The line is very creative. I fully support this brand because I love what they are reppin' and got to support my Muslim Brother Samir Hamid. 


About the line from the creatures:
"F4mily Matters, a family business building an empire. We are nothing less than a brand but more than just a clothing line. We are a lifestyle brand that depicts the meaning of F4mily & what it takes to feed them. F4mily is not only a group of loved ones, but a way of life. It consists of relatives, close ones, & brotherhoods. F4mily is the # 1 motivation for the hustle. With that said, loyalty is the stepping stool that sets us on the top shelf. With constant reminders to self, no matter where you go or how you eat, F4mily Matters."


Here some photographs from their Facebook :

Motivations

It has been a while since I updated my blog. I am going to start doing it more often... 

Most of my motivation to work on my blog are two sisters. Dania and Aya Alshafei both of them have really good blogs. Dania's blog is basically good for days when you want to learn new things, she has just about everything. Aya's blog is a good reference for new/fun fashion inspirations. Check them out by clicking on their names.

My is still in the process of being built up, because I am not very familiar with blogger. HAHA. Hopefully by this year I will have multiple web links for my photographs. 

The two photographs above are from series I have been working on about Palestine. I really want to bring forth what people do not see in the news. Also, I want to show a light of hope. If you want more details about my photographs just be sure to comment.
