I made a music video to share my own story as a Muslim woman in America. In doing so, I was expected to share every other Muslim woman’s story, too.

Seth Dixon‘s insight:

This is one reason why I try to avoid terms like “the Geography of North America.”  The geography of North America for this author is not identical to mine even if we might be occupying the same spaces.  Our experiences and networks are shaped by ethnicity, class, gender and other markers of identity; we occupy overlaying and interrelated geographies.  This article is an interesting read about overlapping cultural identities as global lives continue to weave a fascinating cultural tapestry.  There isn’t one singular “Geography” with a capital G of any given place, but many geographies.
