The two foods I loved the most growing up: In N Out and my grandma's Molokhia. The Arabic says “Molokhia” which is a nostalgic rice, jute leaf, and chicken based Egyptian dish. The label is a heavily modified Lyon Arabic Slanted by the legendary @morcoskey. The In N Out burger wrapper was modeled in Clo3d and rendered in C4D + redshift.

Before my dad passed, I started learning Arabic to get back in touch with my heritage. I’ve learned a couple things: 1. Arabic reads from right to left. 2. My grandmas name “Zizi” can read forwards in English and backwards in Arabic! This is because the English letter “i” makes a Z sound in Arabic and the lower case cursive “z” shape makes an “i” sound (with some creative liberties) Slide 2 - image of my grandma Zizi in Egypt #arabic #lettering #Zizi (at New York City, N.Y.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbZAUvzAr30/?utm_medium=tumblr

When my dad was nine, his parents told him to pack one bag and one toy so it appeared like they were going on vacation. It would be the last time he’d see his childhood home in Egypt. They were fleeing the country. They left behind memories and possessions for a life on the edge of total poverty in Los Angeles. Growing up in the ‘60s and ‘70s in LA he overcame a lot. And I never grasped how much this trauma shaped his life. It wasn���t until his final years that I could finally understand. 
He left this world an accomplished man and father. I love you dad. So happy you’re at peace now. (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYk90g0LIce/?utm_medium=tumblr

Gender reveals celebrate the wrong thing. We should be celebrating identity and its fluid ever changing nature. Tomorrow, all the rainbow logos will start disappearing. But we’ll still be here learning. #Pride #FuckGenderReveals #GenderReveal #pride2021 (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQvC1QnBGsw/?utm_medium=tumblr

First we CELEBRATE then we start doing the REAL work. Our country was not saved by the white vote. This race shouldn't have been so fucking close. Our work isn't over, it's just now beginning. #2020 #Biden #Election Colophon –  VTC Carrie, a Sans Serif by @Vocaltype.co – A Black owned type foundry.

Buy Stamps AND USE THEM! According to @salonofficial , the USPS doesn’t count the revenue of postage until “services are rendered” AKA you send a letter using those stamps.

They’re trying to scare us. Swipe ➡️ to read what to do in case your local unmarked federal agents try to whisk you off our feet into a fucking rented car. The National Lawyers Guild who just launched a hotline 212-679-2811 for us to report incidents of federal repression. The NLG Federal Defense Hotline will allow callers to have privileged conversations with attorneys, and to receive attorney referrals, know-your-rights information, and resources for responding to grand jury investigations and subpoenas. The line is staffed by attorneys organizing with the NLG, and will remain active as long as federal prosecution efforts continue. Sans Serif by @Vocaltype.co – A Black owned type foundry.

This is the only flag I’ll be caring about this weekend. Every dollar I spend will be on a Black owned business this weekend. I normally try to do this, but I think it’s even more important these next few days. Also I’ll be donating to #blacktranslivesmatter & #blacklivesmatter organizations like @theokraproject @princessjanaeplace @transjusticefp @mvmnt4blklives —- Beautiful Type by @vocaltype.co A Black owned type foundry.
