Taqwa Ahmed Al-Wawi is an aspiring writer and student of English literature at the Islamic University of Gaza, carving her path in a city that speaks the language of resilience.
“I come from Gaza, a place where hope is written from the ruins of war and dreams are forged in the heart of hardship,” she says. “For me, writing is more than just an expression; it’s an escape from harsh reality. It’s where I find my path and inscribe my ambitions.
“My words carry the heartbeat of a Palestinian girl who refuses to merely witness history but is determined to shape it. With each line, I move closer to realizing my dreams — not just to overcome challenges but to create a lasting impact on the world. Writing is my journey, one that takes me far from a reality that changes slowly, where I transform pain into creative energy.
“Every word is a promise of a better future, a future I am already outlining today.”
