Mama Ganuush, a drag artist who fled Egypt, found new life and purpose in San Francisco thanks to Nabila Mango, who provided a home during tough times. Nabila, a Palestinian refugee, has her own story of displacement and resilience, having left Jaffa in 1948. The intersection of their stories highlights themes of advocacy, identity, and the profound impact of chosen family in overcoming life's adversities. Mango's own journey in the U.S. showcases her commitment to immigrant narratives and Palestinian heritage through her various endeavors, including entrepreneurship and activism.
Nabila, she saved my life when I came here. I got a job, I settled down, and I became an executive in tech almost 10 years later.
Displacement was one of the greatest pains my mother carried. My mother’s advocacy and dedication to our heritage now shine through in our family.
