emerging writers from Palestine tell their stories and advocate for their human rights
Sondos Alqadri is a Palestinian-Canadian. Raised in Gaza, she navigated the complexities of her homeland before pursuing higher education at Al-Azhar University, from which she graduated in 2016 with a degree in English language and literature.
Currently residing in China, Sondos channels her passion for education as an English teacher. Her interests include childhood development, education, and writing.
For Sondos, writing transcends mere words; it’s an expression of empathy and community and a way to preserve collective memories.
