Where I'm, you know, I'm so worried about getting bullied.
But instead what happens is I'm surrounded with kids who have infinite curiosity.
They're like, who are you?
Like, you know, they say dumb stuff sometimes.
Like, oh, do you live in a pyramid?
And I like to mess with them.
So I'm like, yeah, you know the pyramid on Prada Market.
Yeah, yeah.
You know the one?
And they're like, wow.
Like, they have no idea.
But anyways.
It thrust me into this position where I needed to be sure of who I was and I needed to be a spokesperson for all of Islam and I needed to have the answers.
And I wouldn't even know where to begin if not for that Islamic school background.
And I worry that that'll be the same case for the next generation and my kids in particular.
They have Arab names.
Both of their parents are Egyptian.
They look Arab.
They look just like those kids that are starving in Gaza.
Like, it's awful.
