Are you Palestinian? Your voice needs to be heard to combat the past almost-century long erasure, gaslighting, and silencing of Palestinian history and voices. Tell us your story and be a part of building the true Palestinian narrative.
We all have a story to tell, whether in Palestine or the diaspora, and it’s time to tell it together!
Submit your story as text and optionally apply to be on our Watermelon Pages podcast.
Your story can be about anything having to do with your connection to Palestine as a Palestinian. It can be about the food, a moment with your grandma, or how your family was displaced. Here are a few prompts to help, but don't feel confined to these. It's your voice and your story to share.
Some potential prompts:
- What's your relationship to Palestine?
- What do you love about Palestinian people and culture?
- What's a story about Palestine or your Palestinian family that you think of often or want to share?
- Why do you want your story to be heard?
- How does it feel to be Palestinian? What challenges have you faced as someone with a Palestinian identity?
Again, don't feel limited by these prompts. Tell us a story, a thought, a song, a poem.
Stories will be posted on watermelonpages.com and promoted on Instagram via the @watermelonpages account.
