I have gathered identities in my heart and certificates in my hands, Syrian by identity,

Arab in affection, Emirati in passion, and Canadian in connections.

The Thoughts That Inspire Me

Strive daily to leave a meaningful and valuable imprint for yourself and for future generations.

The Thoughts That Inspire Me

I believe that it is the individual who creates their own status... For status does not make the individual.

The Thoughts That Inspire Me

I will always say what I feel... and do what I think.

This imprint is the mark of every free individual, with a deeply meaningful significance. It is a mirror reflecting the pure and sincere truth of every free journalist who believes in their word, who has a long-term vision, who has succeeded in leaving a positive impact on the society in which they live and belong.”
