Sure, the web connects the globe, but most of us end up hearing mainly from people just like ourselves. Blogger and technologist Ethan Zuckerman wants to help share the stories of the whole wide world. He talks about clever strategies to open up your Twitter world and read the news in languages you don’t even know.

My name is islamoyankee | My Name Is Me

Rachel from Velveteen Rabbi got me to write a piece for this important website.  My name is islamoyankee | My Name Is Me. I lived through 9/11. My Muslim identification became more important. I read an article about the two things the French fear/hate: Americans and Muslims. The author of the article coined the term “islamoyankee.” I appropriated it to describe me as being a proud New Yorker and committed Muslim.
