Faceless: Two Worlds Collide
Amazon.com
Faceless: Two Worlds Collide is a social justice/fiction novel that I wrote after doing a month of research and interviews with American soldiers and immigrants or refugees in my community. It is the fictional tale set ten years after a world war three between the United States and the Middle East and is about the relationship between an ROTC soldier and an American bred, Muslim woman who both start out with biases against each other and gradually begin to build an understanding, noting the similarities between their cultural and religious gap as opposed to the differences.

International Women's Day, Cultural Awareness Conference
The International Women's Day Cultural Awareness Event is an event that brings focus on the cultural diversity on campus and whose goal is to help students overcome social stigmas against other cultures through talks, dance and singing performances and workshops. Different students and groups from University of Louisville will have a chance to showcase and represent their culture through these workshops, talks and performances. Each year around the world, thousands of events are held worldwide to commemorate International Women's Day and mark the economic, political and social achievements of women. We want to hold this event on campus and focus on the cultural awareness aspect because we believe the University of Louisville is a very large and diverse campus that represents a lot of cultures, ethnicities, and religions. Using this event to draw attention and awareness of all those cultures is another way of celebrating the diversity of the students on campus.

The International Women's Day Cultural Awareness Event was held for the first time on campus on March 8th from 11am-2:30pm and was co-sponsored by the UofL Women’s Center, Commission on the Status of Women, The Cultural Center, Vice Provost for Diversity and International Affairs, and the Women 4 Women student group.
