The Neighborhood Storyteller

A young Syrian refugee mother, raised in a society where girls were denied freedom of choice and access to education, is determined to raise the next generation as conscious, confident, and resilient women. By leading reading-aloud circles, she uses literacy as a pathway to empower girls from Zaatari refugee camp. Her community activism becomes a journey of self-discovery and collective healing.
