We were outside. We were in the archive. We were in community.
This weekend at the LA Times Festival of Books, NOMMO Cultural Strategies showed up in real time as civic media.
Grateful to be a contributor to We Are Civic Media and to share “Museum Curation as Care” in conversation with so many brilliant thinkers, writers, and builders shaping how we document, remix, and mobilize culture.
From the booth to the signatures to the conversations, this was a reminder that the archive is not static. It is alive, relational, and constantly being authored by those willing to hold it with care.
Thank you to everyone who pulled up, tapped in, and built with us - especially @annenberglab + @uscartsnow .
More to come.

I am thrilled to share that my essay "Eavesdropping As A Solidarity Tactic" is published in the anthology book "We Are Civic Media", a collection of writing on how we make change through creative and interesting ways of media-making. My essay specifically is a reflection on my time co-hosting the Good Muslim Bad Muslim podcast and how I felt like we did more change in solidarity than any traditional organizing tactic.
If you are in Los Angeles, I will be signing copies of "We Are Civic Media" at The LA Times Festival of Books on Saturday April 18, 1:45pm to 2:30pm. I'll be at Booth #093, at the USC Arts Now Tent! It's my first book signing ever at the Festival of Books!
Grateful to have been brought together for this book as a part of being an alum of Civic Media Fellowship with the @annenberglab . The book is amazing - please get yourself a copy! See you Saturday!
Growing, learning, and sharing! 🌺🌎🫂 We had a great time seeing our community enjoy In Bloom: Earth Month Showcase. To learn more about the featured performers and exhibited artists, visit our website at the link in bio!
