Drift Racing Global Attraction. Drift racing originated in Japan in the mid ‘90's and has taken a foothold across the globe, including the Middle East, as a popular sport competing for style, tire smoke, line and angle strategies, speed and showmanship. Think of traditional motorsports like NASCAR and NHRA similar to boxing, and drift racing very much like the transition to the more colorful UFC. Many can equip their favorite rear-wheel drive setup with an LS1 engine, grab a few sponsors and they are off and running. Noor Daoud - Palestinian Female Drift Racer Brings It. Gender equality in the Middle East has been a critical issue for many years, and the woman who have faced an abundant amount of challenges also refuse to accept limited lifestyles and conditions. Noor Daoud is from the town of Ramallah, West Bank. Deeply rooted in traditions of family roles and structure, she has never wavered from her passion and freedom of drift racing as a serious competitor. Taking Top 10 positions at many Middle Eastern Drift events like the Red Bull Car Park Drift, Noor never quits and never looks back. She is a member of the Speed Sisters, a likeminded group of women with a strong passion for racing, who pursued their passions against all odds that can be seen now on film at https://speedsisters.tv/. The Time Has Come. While Saudi Arabia has recently lifted the ban on driving for women, who at one time could not have the freedom to enjoy a drive behind the wheel of a vehicle let alone piloting the punch of a fast and furious drifting horsepower beast, we are honored and privileged to have an intimate conversation of a courageous young lady that is bringing inspiration throughout the arena of drifting motorsports and women across the globe.

In honor of the Super Bowl, we don't talk about football. Instead, we celebrate two of our favorite sports teams, the Speed Sisters, a racing team in the West Bank, and the Gaza Surf Club, from the Mediterranean Coast. We also uncover the surprising connection between surf music and an old Arabic traditional, and reveal the mystery of the show's name. Plus, we get to enjoy real falafel and dream of Palestinian pastrami. Subscribe to the Watermelon Brigades podcast via iTunes, Stitcher, and Google Play.

The Bay Area is rising up to say NO to the Anti-Islamic, Anti-Immigrant and Anti-Woman onslaught from the White House. We hear voices form the Women's March last week and this weekend's massive protests at SF International Airport. We also talk with Professor Rabab Abdulhadi about how San Francisco State University students and faculty are organizing to defend academic freedom and challenge Islamophobia, anti-Palestinian Racism and Imperialism towards Kashmir. And Amber Fares, director of the thrilling documentary Speed Sisters, joins us to talk about the five Palestinian women who make up the first all-female street car racing team in the Middle East.  The film challenges western assumptions about both the roles Arab women play in their societies, and the response of those around them, with a character-driven story told with passion and a pulsing beat. It plays now through Wednesday, February 2 at the Roxie Theater in San Francisco.   Watch the trailer. The post Womens Magazine – January 30, 2017: Resisting Islamophobia in Protest & Film appeared first on KPFA.
