Tears reading the last chapter. Congrats @sarakelsayed so damn relatable. We should count ourselves lucky to have grown up with, and been influenced and enriched by, the best and worst parts of two cultures. Thanks for giving me hope and I wish you all the best for your future.

Thrilled to have discovered these Arab Australian authors. They offer us something exciting, fresh, candid and ultimately liberating. They take me back to my students in Damascus, who did the same. #love #respect
