Ream Shukairy is a Syrian American Muslim born and raised full-time in Orange County, California and part-time over summers in Syria. Whether in California or Syria, she feels at home where her family is and wherever there’s a beach. She has a talent for learning languages and is always on the search for the next place she can travel and flex her words. The daughter of immigrants, there isn’t a stereotype she won’t try her hardest to defy. She can be found reading at the beach, with her sisters watching anime, or playing volleyball really anywhere. She currently resides in Boston for graduate school.

15 facts about me

I speak fluent English, Arabic, and French (but my French is shy). I’m also learning Korean

I love Broadway. I can sing all of Hamilton, Waitress, Hadestown, and Six. Oh and 96,000 from In the Heights is my anthem.

I could probably eat chocolate for every meal

I’m Syrian so I will apologize for the mess in my house even if there is no mess

Almost all books I read and own are by BIPOC authors. Support

Quotes by Ream Shukairy  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“My Syria is collapsed buildings and destructive tanks. A stream of blood trickling from a bullet wound. A hospital of corpses with no doctor in sight.
Where her Syria is family, mine is death. Where hers is freedom, mine is a prison. Where hers breathes, mine suffocates.”
Ream Shukairy, The Next New Syrian Girl

“She won’t be here forever, but my memories will be, so I have to
make them good.”
Ream Shukairy, The Next New Syrian Girl
