Omar L. Rashed is a professor at Rutgers University, where he teaches in the School of Social Work. On his website, http://www.rashedlightsways.com/, he encourages dialogue - forums and phone conversation - to share experiences. He has 3 books of poetry published, one in press, and three books of prose in progress. He is also an editor, helping others who would like to share their writing with the world. Omar believes that social justice is experienced in stories. When social workers share stories, poetry or prose, the message can be received by a broad audience.
