Ramadan  Mubarak!

3/11/2024

 
Ramadan Mubarak! Here is a poem by Jalaluddin Rumi, which was originally written in Persian, translated to English, and now performed in American Sign Language. The poem is found in Divan-e Shams-e Tabrizi (written around the 1240s CE) and translated to English by Nevit Ergin. I tried my best to translate it to ASL to make it easier for deaf audiences to understand and follow!

Ancient  Egypt  Hymn  Video!!!

8/23/2022

 
Thrilled to finally share another new videopoem with you all! 

"Hymn to the Nile" was a sacred hymn from more than 4,000 years ago. The Nile River was deeply sacred and very important to the ancient Egyptian people. They prayed to various deities for blessings and for bountiful flooding from the Nile River. 

I DO NOT CLAIM TO BE AN EXPERT ON ANCIENT EGYPTIAN CULTURE. My video is NOT meant for educational purposes, it is for entertainment only! Ancient Egypt is one of my favorite topics to read and discuss, I have always been fascinated by the history. I took some liberty with English translation to make the first few lines of the hymn more clear and easier for both deaf and hearing audiences to understand and enjoy. 

***Forthcoming PERFORMANCE at Deaf Muslim Expo in Chicago on October 8, 2022! More info coming soon***

Thank you for watching!

I was given an award by the jury panel at Lady Filmmakers Film Festival for my sign-language short poetry film Deaf Brown Gurl. It was selected as a Jury Award. I was flabbergasted and floored but I feel so incredibly lucky and proud. I love to make movies and it always feels so good to receive some sort of validation from a group of industry professionals who have worked in Hollywood for many years.
