About the Author
Ahmed Sarsour is a Palestinian–Sudanese poet who lived and grew up in Sudan for 21 years. After escaping the conflict that broke out on April 15, 2023. He found himself caught in yet another conflict— another genocide. One the world has born witness to in Gaza.

Ahmed is a brother, a son, and an uncle. He celebrated one of his birthdays during Sudan’s genocide and two more during Gaza’s genocide. His sister gave birth twice during the bombings, and her story became his inspiration.

As he navigates his way to survive the genocide, his poems were born out of fear, love, and pain for his family and his people.

It became his voice—to scream into the void and to humanize his siblings in Gaza after the media turned its back on them.

Using poetry as both a weapon and a healing tool. He fights his social anxiety and the stereotypes that have been pushed on him and his people their whole lives.
