Khalid AbuDawas

Expect a powerful poet and speaker. Expect someone who has spent their words reflecting on parts of himself for so long he has learned to put them on display. Expect someone who will tell you what he feels more through his chest than through his mouth. Expect someone who will show you what it means to grab your identity and get an answer from it. Expect someone who will captivate an audience, and leave them thinking. Expect someone who will inspire an audience to grab a pen and a paper and start writing.

I am a Muslim, Palestinian-American. I have traveled internationally to competitions and award ceremonies for my work , received professional recognition for my work in activism, as well as acted as a co-founder for an international organization. As a poet, I hope to entertain as well as open people's eyes to new ideas and perspectives previously brushed away. I am open to all requests, thoughts, and viewpoints. Can't wait to see you!

Just a place for me to stand.
