It’s official! 🎙 The #LittleSyria show will be premiering in #Brooklyn this May thanks to @nifmuhammad & the good ppl of @bam_brooklyn. 🤲🏼 The last & only time this material was ever performed live was at the @kennedycenter in 2019, so @thanksjoey, @ronniemalley & I can’t wait to bring this project (& the #ArabAmerican stories it honors) back to life for y’all through poetry, rap, Arabic music, #Hakawati-style oration & big 3ammo energy. 🧿 Grab your tickets today (link in bio) & while you’re at it check out the incredible lineup #BAMbrooklyn has in store for y’all this year … I honestly can’t believe my name is on a bill with so many of these brilliant artists. 💫 Alhamdulillah forever(ything). https://www.instagram.com/p/CZNADOpudt5/?utm_medium=tumblr

Saying you’re Palestinian can feel like a political statement. In the past year, curiosity and support has grown for Palestine. Humbled by the positive feedback from readers & thankful for my Jewish friends, the BLM movement, millennials, & Gens Y & Z for the support, pushing against the “it’s complicated” status quo. Please read, and share with your Palestinian people!

Salaam / Peace & welcome to all the new followers who’ve joined since the last post! 🤲🏼 1000 thanks — I truly appreciate the love & support. This is a photo from last year’s @kennedycenter #ArtsSummit where I premiered a segment of the #LittleSyria show (link in bio) in which I recount experiences of the first #ArabAmerican community to settle here on #TurtleIsland — in a #HipHop X #Hakawati kinda way of course. ✨🎙✨ We had plans to start touring the project this fall but alas ... may have to turn it into podcast later this year? 📻 Until then, @thanksjoey & I have a new album being mastered now that we plan to serve you up with this summer insha’Allah, so stay tuned for more updates from #LosShamgeles! 🧿 #Sinsyrianly — #OmarOffendum. https://www.instagram.com/p/CATD2KGBUpe/?igshid=hewrjei7vrce

I recently had the opportunity to present some of my work to high school teachers of #Arabic language + culture across the country, from the back patio of my #LosAngeles home. 🌴💻🌴 While this performance-lecture was initially slated to take place at @sxswedu (cancelled), I’m really glad we were still able to make it happen thanks to the good ppl of @qfintl! 🧿 Much love to all the educators facing these quarantine-learning challenges w/ patience & grace. On behalf of parents around the world, I thank you from the bottom of my #ArabAmerican heart. 🤍 https://youtu.be/ieylAlLHYUA https://www.instagram.com/p/B_7qV4oDm1n/?igshid=195zqk6qa7sag
