The Youth Are The Catalysts For Real

Extremism Is Not Endemic In My Region, Nor Is Anti-western Sentiment. No Doubt There Is Discontent And Distrust. That Is Towards More The American And Some Western Policies, And Not Toward The American People.

I Work In Areas Related To Child Protection And Family Safety, Women's Empowerment, The Creation Of Opportunities For Youth, And Culture And Tourism. Daunting? Yes. Impossible? No. In Fact, Such Challenges Energize Me.

My Role Models Are People Who Can Do Things; I Say To Myself, 'i Wish I Could Do That.'

I'm Amazed By The Misconceptions About Muslim Women And The Arab World That I Hear, And That Really Does Hurt Me.
