Donna Ghassemi (she/her)

Bio

Donna Ghassemi is a lover of raccoons, donuts, and nostalgia. She is a short story writer that occasionally dabbles with poetry, usually during the late hours of the night. Her work is inspired by daily life, her family history, and weird dreams she has after eating too much food. Donna hopes to one day be good enough to have her books sold at grocery stores.

Solidarity Arts Fellowship reflection

“The Solidarity Arts Fellowship has taught me so much about the power of solidarity and community. It has been so amazing connecting and bonding with everyone and learning so much both with them and about them. Through this fellowship, I was able to experience a safe space filled with so much care and creativity. The friendships I've made and the community I've built during the last 6 months are ones I will always cherish.”
