1) Sheyam Ghieth is an Lgbt artist of Egyptian origin and she resides in the US. She is known for her illustrations on award-winning TV series Ramy. This is the story of how the BBC cancelled her. Because on her instagram account, some of her illustrations deal with apartheid. Image
2) I was a senior journalist at the BBC & part of an email chain about Sheyam. A producer had pitched a story on Lgbt figures from the Arab world and put in Sheyam Ghieth as a prospective interviewee. It is an Lgbt story - not about Israel. And Sheyam’s work covers a wide range. Image
3) Seniors objected to Sheyam Ghieth’s inclusion. The head of BBC Mideast desk Raffi Berg was cc’ed in. They had taken a peek at Sheyam’s Instagram account and some of her work was ‘controversial’. How? She called Israel an apartheid and declared her anti-Zionism. Image

Holy shit. Just accidentally binged @ramy on @hulu. It was so fucking good yall. Such complex, interesting narratives; at times very uncomfortable or dark, but somehow consistently amusing & humorously real.
It reminds me a little of Master of None, but with more depth? It’s just gets more powerful with every episode. I did not mean to watch it in one day but I did. I fucking did.
Highly recommend for children of immigrants & millennials raised in religious households. It’s not my story but Lord if I didn’t feel some of those episodes in my bones.

What I’m saying is: Go watch #Ramy.
