Mona Chalabi Instagram – Won a Pulitzer, gave it away. The fourth slide is from an interview that was released last night about journalistic censorship of Palestine. Please go listen (it’s called Longform – in my bio). We spoke for four hours and it was pretty agonizing. The day before the Pulitzer ceremony, I went to buy a dress from a Palestinian store in Brooklyn. When I walked in, the store owner and her family were sitting around a television, watching the news in silence but their grief was so loud that I was ashamed to interrupt. This beautiful dress and abaya also came with a matching hijab for $65 total – I hope that’s a price point that means a lot of you reading this can go and support Diana’s Fashion World in Bay Ridge (full disclosure, I added the slit myself 😈). I’m grateful I got the chance to celebrate this prize back in May with the people who worked on this project with me. And, as I explain in the podcast, I remain ridiculously grateful to every one of you reading this who has supported my work by sharing it with others. You’re the reason I’ve got the strength to continue speaking, writing and drawing freely.
