Spending ten years using my voice to advocate for Lebanon during times of conflict has been an intense and deeply personal journey. Being recognized by the International Union of Arab Intellectuals not only validates the hard work but also reaffirms the importance of speaking out against injustices such as bombings, invasions, and ethnic cleansing that have affected my homeland. Throughout this period, I witnessed the devastating impact of political turmoil and violence on families, communities, and the cultural fabric of Lebanon. Sharing these experiences through my writing has been both cathartic and empowering. It allowed me to connect with others who have suffered similar hardships and to bring awareness to an international audience that might otherwise remain uninformed. Receiving a certificate of appreciation alongside distinguished guests was a humbling moment that motivated me to continue advocating for peace and justice. The support from organizations like the International Union of Arab Intellectuals helps amplify voices from the Arab world, fostering a sense of unity and resilience. If you feel moved by these stories of perseverance and advocacy, I encourage you to support my work by exploring my award-winning novel, "Einstein in the Attic." This book delves into themes of identity, struggle, and hope, inspired by the collective experiences of my people. Sharing our stories is crucial in times of political and social unrest. They not only provide insight into the realities faced by affected populations but also inspire others to act and support causes that uphold human dignity. I’m forever grateful to God for the strength to carry on and to those who stand with me in this mission.
