Rania Awad
as Jade

she/her

Rania is a second year student at UW who is currently in her chill-not-chill phase. When she finds the time, she usually sketches silly portraits, crochets, listens to her only playlist, and screams OUT into the universe about nothing (very dramatic). This is her first time acting in front of a camera and she’s absolutely thrilled! Her hope is that this film will remind others to be patient and gentle with those experiencing any form of queer love and joy.
