Jamileh at the End of the World
Toronto: James Lorimer, 2021
A Palestinian-Canadian teen girl's anxiety about climate change causes conflict with her family and makes it seem futile to plan for her future.
I’m an award winning author (“13,” “Jamilah at the End of the World”) editor and journalist who began writing as a theatre critic and then a music journalist before hitting fiction. As a writing editor, teacher and arts administrator I address issues around disability arts, my Palestinian heritage and marginalized voices around the world. As a mentor with the Toronto Arts Council Refugee and Newcomer Mentorship program, and in my workshops, I seek to demystify the art of writing and embolden my students’ and mentees’ voices.
