The Schherazade Project

by JHSEsq

Just her descrip­tion of her blog on MyBlogLog intrigued us, “An explo­ration of what it means to be an Arab woman caught between 2 mad cul­tures.” Nezha is very tal­ented as a writer and observer of the human con­di­tion. She describes her­self, “I’m an Arab-Canadian grad stu­dent cur­rently resid­ing in Paris, France.I enjoy music, danc­ing, fash­ion, and books (fic­tion and non-fiction.) I also enjoy writ­ing, draw­ing, travel, and cook­ing when­ever the mood strikes.”

Her blog is called The Schher­azade Project. And while she can weave prose to poetry, she also can tell the tale of a fam­ily wed­ding with a lot of pic­tures, of course. Her post of Decem­ber 26, 2007 caught our eye. It seems to be an ode to a past rela­tion­ship that did not work out because of the cul­tural dif­fer­ences, “The music was loud and wild and took over us com­pletely. We danced, we laughed and we dreamed. We went back home in Robert’s car, with the win­dows open and our voices singing with the wind.” The post is titled Let­ter to a Punk. This is a ter­rific blog. The Ris­ing Blog­ger is pleased to award Nezha our Post of the Day!
