Ream Shukairy

Ream Shukairy is a Syrian American born and raised full-time in Orange County, California and part-time over summers in Syria. She is the author of The Next New Syrian Girl and Six Truths and a Lie. 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.
