Dua Aldasouqi is a Palestinian American who spent most of her adult years in East Lansing. She is a dietitian by profession, but has a passion for poetry and the spoken word. Her poetry is very diverse, both in terms of subject matter and style. Oftentimes her unique perspective as a minority in America shapes her poetry, from poems on the struggles against racism, to social injustice, to the everyday struggles of life including a fun poem on how google had failed her. She is currently living in Texas to complete a seminary program to enhance her spiritual growth and ability to serve the community.
