Thanks for asking my opinion. I'm honored.

I think it is a very heartfelt and honest piece. Your sentence structure and logic are easy to follow. That is particularly impressive as your passion for the cause shines throughout.

That being said, I have two criticisms (since you asked!):

1) I think you buried the lede by putting the goals of the protests so far down in the story. One of the key critiques of these bold kids is, "they don't even know what they're protesting for." Making demands clear, concise and achievable are keys to getting those demands addressed.

2) I think you cover too many subjects in one article, without a clear overarching theme drawing them together. Your journey, the protests, the protesters themselves, the Palestinian cause, the Palestinian uprisings, etc. These are all great subjects, but it is (IMO) too much for one article - unless you relate each back to your journey from where you were to where you are as a "revolutionary mama."

I have to write a lot for my job. I use medium to hone my writing skills. Cut out whatever is not clearly adding to your main point - which is how you became a revolutionary mama.

Looking forward to your future posts!
