I had the pleasure and the honer of hearing The Hebrew MamitaVanessa Hidary talk and meeting her in person. As I was listing to her preform this peace live I thought of all the people who have told me "I don't look Russian" of all the people who told one of my closest friends, a proud Palestinian woman she "Doesn't look Arab", I thought of my good friend from high school who heard an endless amount of times "he doesn't look gay", I thought of my good friend from from Jamaica who people say "Doesn't look Jewish"... and I say, in the words of a great poetess: "they don't look, period"
