Yaffa will share from their book Whispers Beneath the Orange Grove and some of their most recent writings as well. Donations support Yaffa’s work providing mutual aide to Queer and Trans Palestinians, sliding scale $10-30 recommended donation.
Whispers Beneath the Orange Grove is an essay collection where Yaffa blends personal narratives with strategies to build a liberated world grounded in mutual aid, community care, and collectivism. Rooted in Indigenous Palestinian culture and guided by love, spirituality, and belonging, Yaff offers a compelling vision and practical tools for organizers and mobilizers-both new and experienced- dedicated to creating a just world.
Reflecting on experiences like being unhoused and navigating psychosis, Yaffa emphasizes survival and resistance strategies. Drawing on lessons from post-9/11, the collection addresses the current rise of fascism and presents tools like community care as a practice to strengthen collective bonds. Critically engaging with settler colonialism, the essays focus on the most marginalized, offering a roadmap for collective liberation and a more just future.
