Write a statement of intent where you highlight your literary influences in your primary genre (favorite authors / works) - other genres you anticipate working in - past experiences with other writing teachers / mentors - a brief description of your potential thesis project (if you have one in mind)

Coming across the quote: “Literature is the expression of society just like the word is the expression of a human being” made me believe in the power of words.

Although

my love to express myself through writing began during my childhood in America, it expanded as I went back to Egypt. After school, I studied English Language and Literature in an attempt to choose Writing as my major. Unfortunately, creative writing was not one of the majors offered at the faculty.

Thus

, I chose to feed my love for words with literature. Along with my MA and PhD studies, I succeeded to experience writing poetry and essays which did not only represent myself but

impress my audience on social media. I was influenced by

professionally accepted. Since I have always followed my intellectual curiosity to take on challenging courses and build a solid academic foundation for my intended pursuit of research, I decided to strengthen my talent with academic study.

Consequently

, I decided to earn an MFA in Creative Writing. As an African-Arab feminist who was raised between America and Egypt and a member of a female nongovernmental organization, I was influenced by many Ethnic female writers. My primary influencers were Maya Angelou and Betty Shamieh. Maya Angelou has shaped the feminist, activist and genuine poet in me as my favourite poem for her is “Still I Rise”, whereas Betty Shamieh added a true aim to my writings which are to become the voice of the African and Arab women in the diaspora.

Therefore

, my main interest as a scholar and

is to highlight the sufferings of minorities and to empower Black and Arab women in North-American societies.

That is

why I like to work under the supervision of

program. Since the courses depend on workshops, I look forward to gaining more professional experience through these workshops, in which exchanging experiences and professional techniques with peers could sharpen my writing skills.
