I'm passionate about
Women's Rights. Social Justice. Empathy.

An idea worth spreading
Humanity above everything else.
In the words of Khalil Gibran:
“Patriotism cannot be our final spiritual shelter; my refuge is humanity. I will not buy glass for the price of diamonds, and I will never allow patriotism to triumph over humanity as long as I live. ”
