aboutme

ASalaam Alaikum!

My name is Sarah Harvard. I am originally from the Chicagoland Suburbs, but moved to the Nations capital for college. I am often day-dreaming of becoming the next hybrid of Anthony Bourdain and Jeremy Scahill. I have a lot of passion in story-telling and standing up against injustice. I keep myself busy by getting involved in graphic design, writing, film and music. I take great interest in US-Middle East relations, national security, culture and identity, and punk rock bands. You can find me listening to the Clash, the Killers, and Joy Division when Im writing or working on projects. I look really good on paper. Influences Hobbies Interests Life Motto Favorite Quote

Glenn Greenwald, Amy Goodman, Dean Obeidallah, Mehdi Hasan, Anthony Bourdain, Michael Muhammad Knight, Laura Poitras, Ridley Scott, and Brandon Flowers Stand up comedy, spoken word poetry, graphic design, writing, filming, web designing, food tasting, MMA, road trips, punk rock karaoke, and going to concerts Islamic history, culture and identity, counter-cultural movements, debates, politics, national security, US-Middle East relations, immigration, technology, and entrepreneurship If there is a will, there is a way Many people, especially ignorant people, want to punish you for speaking the truth, for being correct, for being you. Never apologize for being correct, or for being years ahead of your time. If youre right and you know it, speak your mind. Even if you are a minority of one, the truth is still the truth. - Mahatma Gandhi
