mhd borhan (he/him) is a grey area writer and activist—his work and life existing in intersections. As an Arab/Latino/European Muslim, mhd borhan’s stories speak to the always present confusion and discomfort that comes with being an other, even amongst fellow others. In 2023, he launched Cats Love Muslims, an online space where he self-publishes short stories and editorials centered on one idea: humanization. He is currently working on his first novel, Thank You for Being White.
Our events, classes, and seminars bring the community together to hear, learn, and discuss the most compelling issues and ideas of our day. We hope you will join us in our community space and bookstore at 716 SE Grand Avenue, Portland, OR, online, and at partnering venues across Portland and Oregon.
This monthly reading series is intended to prioritize the safety, creativity, and stories of Black people, Indigenous people, and People of Color. Come listen to our featured readers, or sign
