A graduate of Harvard Law School, he has been featured on the cover of The Wall Street Journal and has published political commentary in The New York Times and The Washington Post. He makes his comedic debut at the NYAACF as he reflects on working in the West Bank, encounters with celebrities and life as a single, gay Arab American.
