Four months ago in London, I became part of a documentary series for @dwnews , alongside four remarkable Afghan women. I returned to the place where my journey first took root and by some quiet magic, found myself sharing my story exactly where it all began.
This path has been shaped by joy and hardship, patience and love , each woven into the other, teaching me the meaning of resilience and grace. I’m grateful for the women I walk beside, and for those I have yet to meet. And to everyone here who continues to hold space, support, and believe 🫶✨ thank you.

I began this journey alone with not much thought or guidance . I share my journey so often so that many more can receive the guidance and mentoring that I never received. However , I’ve been very lucky that god blessed me a beautiful set of family and friends around me that always pushed me to go the extra mile. With that I met some super magical people on the way and this still continues to make my the journey ever so worthwhile & amazing. Thank you @nourhan_elkallawy for giving me this opportunity ❤️✨ for @cnnarabic@cnn it’s great to share this with the Middle East and dubai which is a place I call home and continue to understand & connect with locals sharing art & values ✨ thank you @elhamkhairalla@sjadna.ae for being a part of my journey again , always in awe of your shop and you as a individual . @bigyell0wtaxi thank you for creating always amazing art with me around dubai with me what a honour it is.
