#WritersCoffeeClub Who is a writer whose life inspires you?
May Ziyade. She is my idol and reason for half of what I do. I love how she was first and foremost a literati and part of why I got into Arabic poetry and learning oud is because her mother memorized hundreds of Arabic poetry and she always found comfort in the oud.
If you are interested in learning more about her tragic life, this is an excellent documentary: https://youtu.be/Z4oAf7HivKg?si=nBG7rkASdCfRYnjG
