Soul of My Soul Exhibit promotes conversations about Palestine through arts and culture.
Our projects have been featured in the San Francisco Chronicle, ABC7News and other publications.
We are a group of moms who didn’t even know each other prior to December 2023. We felt someone needed to do something about the genocide in Gaza. At some point, we each realized, we are that someone. We all are that someone.
We started by holding art exhibits in public spaces where people would stumble upon our exhibit and learn more about what was happening in Palestine. Our art exhibits made it to five different cities in the Bay Area.
Since then we have also:
Collected a significant amount of the 13,000 children’s outfits that were then laid out in a single line on the beach in Monterey, representing the number of children killed in Gaza
Hosted From the Frontlines, highlighting the experiences of Palestinians with the apartheid state and testimony from Bay Area local Dr Subeh on his medical missions to Gaza (attended by over 300 people)
Contributed in fundraising over $15k for FAJR scientific
Fund raised for Baitulmaal, Moonlight Humanity and helped collect for medical supply drives for Gaza
Developed Level Up for Palestine: Taking Your Advocacy to the Next Level
Developed the 30 Under 30 resource- 30 actions you can take for Palestine under 30 seconds, 30 minutes and 30 days
