Sally Bishai is a writer and journalist who founded X Culture Magazine in January, 2004.
Sally is Egyptian American (or, more specifically, Coptic) and loves to tell people what that means!
Her previous titles include Mid-East Meets West: On Being and Becoming a Modern Arab American, and Date like An Egyptian: The Egyptian's Guide to Finding a Mate...Or Date" (hit the links above to check them out). Her documentaries include "Back To Square One? Fifty Years After Emmett Till," and Strange Behaviour: How Westerners Feel About Gender Roles in the Middle East."
Sally's blog, "The AntiSocialite," holds information about current projects, as well as impassioned articles about politics, current headlines, the trouble with society, and many other things that will probably end up getting her killed.
Sally's Bachelor's of Science was in psychology, but her Master's and the Ph.D. she's currently working on are in speech and intercultural communication. She teaches various classes at the university level, and finds time to lecture (off-campus) about her books, her culture, and other controversial topics.
Sally has worked in radio (international and "domestic"), fashion photography, and film, most recently working as a documentary filmmaker (as mentioned above). Her current project deals with Egypt's Copts, which, if you'll remember, she happens to be.
