In this spoken word piece, I reflect on the weight of survival, the burden of watching destruction from afar, and the urgency of speaking the truth. Inspired by my experiences as a Lebanese woman living away from home, I ask: what would you do when war, loss, and injustice define the reality of those you love?  This is a call, not for praise, but for solidarity, truth, and action.
