About Chana

Writing, art and community have the power to save and transform lives. They all did that for me.

I have lived several lives in one, and I have experienced profound transformation: from being the super shy, silent child who never spoke in class or to strangers, to being a backpacker, wandering the world and talking to as many new friends as possible. From plans to settle down in Israel to becoming an anti-zionist, fighting for a free Palestine, from the river to the sea. From believing I was eternally broken to embracing my and others' humanity. From trying to prove I could do it all on my own to knowing I can't, and that no one is supposed to. It has been a long path to unlearn what harms us all and learn a better way to be.  I'm still learning. Thankfully, I do not walk this path alone. No one does. I think that's where true healing begins: together.
