"Holding Fire": The Migrant Experience, Pulitzer Center

Tomorrow evening join me at 5pm if you can for an online screening of “Holding Fire,” an entry in the Pulitzer Center’s The Migrant Experience series about Somia Elrowmeim, a Yemeni activist and community leader from South Brooklyn who has for years been working to empower Arab and Muslim women in the political arena and beyond.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Somia in a number of contexts over the years and am constantly amazed at her tireless efforts to fight for her community and all Arab and Muslim women during a time and in a place of increasing Islamophobia and xenophobia.

Anyone who wants to can write their 500 weekly response about the film if you wish.

Here’s an article from the BK reader about Somia and the work she does.
