The Origin

None of this began on an international stage. It began with a morning broadcast and a national day poem. Then came elocution and improvisation competitions, crowned by first place at Ru'ya Watan in 2017. I have not left the stage since: MC and speaker at governmental and national events.

And the first text I ever carried to an audience was written in my mother's hand — the poet who taught me that a word is a trust.
