emerging writers from Palestine tell their stories and advocate for their human rights

Nada Almadhoun

    Nada Almadhoun is a sixth-year medical student from Gaza. She is also a contemporary artist and reader. Most importantly to her, she is a dreamer who believes in the power of the word and that everyone has a story worth telling. She is proud to be a member of this community of “word artists” through which people can share stories that might otherwise remain hidden.
