Being an outsider, a misfit, a weirdo is totally okay. In her talk on the theme of ROOTS, Malaka GharibIn shares her creative history and some funny, touching examples of her work.

As an artist, journalist, writer, cartoonist, and zine maker, Malaka speaks about her experience as a first-generation Filipino Egyptian American and how her cultural identity has shaped her work. In her talk for our Washington, D.C. chapter, she tells us that it’s never too late to explore and embrace your roots.
