CELEBRATING WOMEN WITH ROOTS IN THE MIDDLE EAST
Celebrating women with roots in the Middle East who show us how to break barriers | challenge injustice | disrupt narratives.
Roots in the Middle East is an online community that celebrates women connected to the Middle East; either by birth, ancestry, or residency.
These women weren't born exceptional, they became exceptional. They teach us how to break barriers, challenge injustice, disrupt narratives, overcome bias. These fierce women are artists, athletes, activists, entrepreneurs, scientists, mothers, daughters, or immigrants. They have written their own stories.
We would love to hear how you persist. Guidelines are provide here. Tell the story of your life!
