Bisan Nabil Duhair

    Bisan Nabil Duhair is at university studying management.

    “I call myself a butterfly,” she says. “I move around trying my best to leave a nice effect everywhere. I write, I read, I recite poems and I enjoy learning new languages. When people ask me about my ambition, I tell them I want to live with a peaceful mind beside peaceful people, peacefully.”

    Bisan believes that she writes best when she focuses on circumstances she has lived, whether happy or sad. However, ” I hope I spend the rest of my life writing about the happy moments.”
