my name is alissa hakim and i am a lebanese american girl in my early 20s

i love poetry and music and philosophy

i enjoy cooking, writing, painting, and learning

i hope to become a lawyer and eventually open a community center focused on arts, politics, and philosophy

i want to do good in this world. maybe bring some warmth to the coldness

when i think of what that looks like, i turn to the idea of radical love described by bell hooks. a deep, revolutionary force that remains unapologetic. a type of love that can truly liberate people and bring a sense of communion. not just with those around us, but in all the aspects of ourselves that are easy to forget or can often be conflicting
