Emel Mathlouthi

Emel is a Tunisian-American singer-songwriter, musician, arranger and producer. She rose to fame with her protest song “Kelmti Horra” (“My Word is Free”), which became an anthem for the Tunisian revolution and the Arab Spring. Her work crosses many boundaries and her latest album MRA was conceived with a completely female team of musicians, singers and producers which was a first for Emel.

Nothing is Objective;

We are all biased. Our values are our bias. So we all have to be honest, ethical and transparent about our biases.

“Accepting the reality that “pure objectivity” is a dangerous myth, and acknowledging both the effects of implicit bias and the validity of emotion, allow the opportunity for transparency about what happens in reality—and then for accountability.”

Everything Is Political

The majority of us know that the personal is political, like it or not.

We the majority want, simply: Freedom. Freedom to be, do, say, worship, and love whoever, whatever and however we want. A Fair Deal. A Functioning Society. It’s not to much to demand.
