Today we have a conversation with the remarkable Palestinian story teller, educator, and activist Fidaa Ataya. This took place during her tour of the US, where she has been conducting workshops and speaking throughout the northeast.
Fidaa discovered the power of story-telling on the knee of her Grandmother, and as an educator is now using it as her means of teaching and resisting. She understands the power of story telling. We asked her to tell her story.
