Suzy Kassem is a
Los Angeles-based Egyptian-American film director, writer, and poet.
Born in 1975 to first-generation Egyptians in the heart of America, Suzy Kassem
defies simple classification in today's complicated world. As a synergist between eastern and
western influences, her body of work captures her multidimensionality
as an extremely versatile artist -- and true Renaissance woman.
A master of writing poetry, prose, screenplays, and articles on
a vast spectrum of topics in both English and Arabic, Suzy has proven she is very passionate and generous with words. Armed with the knack
and range for building an arsenal of captivating and powerful voices, she uses a myriad of different
styles and tones to communicate common street and world sentiments
across all age groups -- with provocative wisdom and unconfined humor. She uses the pen as her weapon to bring light to her readers and open
portals in their minds that get them to act, think, feel, and react. Peace
is her ultimate message. Her love for humanity is the fuel that pushes
her to keep writing to awaken the masses and bring the world to
synergize one reader at a time.
Suzy Kassem currently travels between her overseas homes in Cairo and Alexandria, Egypt where she finds the inspiration for many of her writings each morning, as she watches the sunrise from her balcony and the angels come out to pour love into the skies.
