I'm a journalist based in Sudan. I read a lot of books and write a lot of pieces. I freelance for a number of websites
I'm a bookworm and a magazine junkie. I literally live on the internet. I read a lot of blogs and online magazines.
***My idols are Mai Ghassoub and Eve Ensler
I write a lot. I stack books about feminism .I love cake. I enjoy Iranian literature. I never de-clutter, yes I get attached to things. I read, I write, I laugh, I read.
