About
Hi, I'm Jackie. I was born in Cairo, raised in Eastern Los Angeles, and now live in the Pioneer Valley, Massachusetts. I enjoy writing, cooking, baking, film, listening to vinyl, art, culture, and making connections with others.
I am using this platform as a place to publish my work regularly in hopes it will help me exercise my writing muscle. You can always reach me at jackiehabib3@gmail.com.
