MWA Documentary for Al-Jazeera with Aishah Schwartz and Rania Marwan December 2010

Muslimah Writers Alliance (MWA) Director, Aishah Schwartz, of Washington, DC and MWA Member/Newly Published Author, Rania Marwan of Cairo, Egypt meet one another in person for the first time when asked to participate in a short-documentary produced by iFilms of Cairo, Egypt for Al-Jazeera (Arabic) in the summer of 2010.

The program, originally aired December 1, 2010, sets out the basic concept behind MWA and showcases the works of just a few of its 200+ members, in addition to touching on Ms. Schwartz's use of writing as a form of activism.

Established in 2006, MWA is an internationally-based collaboration of Muslim women writers and advocates working together to counter negative and inaccurate perceptions regarding members of the Muslim community and the Islamic faith.

Words cannot express my gratitude to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala for the opportunity to participate in this project; nor are there words enough to say how much it meant to share this experience with my dear, sweet sister, Rania Marwan. ♥
