Full disclosure: I currently identify as both a Christian and a patriot. However, I have not always, and rarely have I simultaneously. In my late teens and early twenties, I was so disgusted by the bigotry and hatred I witnessed in the American church that I rejected Christianity and embraced patriotism instead. Now, during the second coming of Trump, I have begun to re-embrace my Christian upbringing as a form of resistance. I love this country — from the snow-capped summits of the Rocky Mountains to the salt-laden shores of the Carolinas, from the agrarian green wilderness of the Poconos to the bustling and ridiculously steep streets of San Francisco. I have traveled to just about every corner of this vast and beautiful country, and everywhere, I have found that Americans are, by and large, honest, hardworking, and compassionate people.

My favorite color has been black for as long as I can remember. Black lured me in not because of how elegant or bold it could be, but because of how strikingly different it was from pink. As a kid, I insisted on wearing black nail polish — a backlash to the French, pink manicure commonly accepted at my elementary school — each time my mom took me to the salon. She often stayed by my side to make sure I wouldn’t persuade the nail artist to apply any dark colors (I did it once when I was around six).

Next week, Penn will host Palestine Writes, a festival with the noble purpose of “celebrating and promoting cultural productions of Palestinian writers and artists.” I, for one, was excited for the festival; I’ve read Darwish, and Said, and others, and looked forward to the possibility of experiencing Palestinian literature on Penn’s Campus. I rejoiced at hearing Susan Abulhawa, the executive director of the festival, saying “no one at our festival is an antisemite” in an article from The Daily Pennsylvanian on Thursday.
