Cecile Sarruf is an Arab-American author originally from Southern California. Born to a mother of Syro-Lebanese ancestry from Cairo and a Midwestern father, Cecile is the eldest of five. She holds a BA in Creative Writing from CSULB and an MFA in Creative Writing from Antioch University, Los Angeles. Educated in the high arts: opera, piano, painting and literature, Cecile explores all means of self-expression in order to make her voice heard. Cecile is author of Kitchen in Beirut: a Memoir. Her other work can be found online in literary journals, as well as in print within anthologies. She is fluid in walking between East and West as a feminist, and is keen on the socio-political when standing at the edge of cultural crossroads. She also enjoys writing the occasional anecdotal essay from her personal life.
