Update. June 3, 2009.
My name is Anida
daughter of Souraya
who is the daughter of Abidah
who is the daughter of Fatimah
who is the daughter of a woman whose name I do not know
We are all daughters of the Hawwa
sisters of survival
women of resistance
Daughters of
Peace everyone.
This update is long overdue.
There’s been a lot of changes in my life and I am still here, and still channeling my creative energy towards performance work, writings, life and now my latest and greatest work-in-progress. Her name is Minara Noor Ali Sugano and she came into this world at a whopping 8 lbs. of flesh/bones/blood on September 24, 2009 at 3:43am. Life is good and full and I am very thankful for all my blessings. My name has legally changed to Anida Yoeu Ali to honor my matrilineage and the passing of my maternal grandmother in 2006. There may be areas on this website that still use my old name but please know that Anida Yoeu Esguerra and Anida Yoeu Ali are one in the same! It’s been a long journey but this will be the last of any further name changes!
