Before I introduce myself, I’d like to thank Feministe for giving me the opportunity to blog here.
My name is Fatemeh Fakhraie, and I’m the founder and editor-in-chief of Muslimah Media Watch, which analyzes and critiques images of Muslim women that appear in the media. I also write for Racialicious. Both of these sites have very intelligent, dedicated women writing for them, and I highly suggest you check them out.
Bio: I’m a twentysomething biracial Muslim woman who was born in Utah and now lives in the Pacific Northwest. I identify as an Islamic feminist, which for me means that I don’t see any contradictions between the idea of total equality among genders, sexualities, races, socioeconomic classes, etc., and Islam. I’m interested in racial activism, dispelling myths about Muslims and feminism to both groups, and complaining.
Fun fact: I don’t own a microwave. Not because I’m against them; I just never got around to buying one. I don’t really want one, but I occasionally reconsider when I crave popcorn.
