Joyce Azzam

"...A girl from my community isn’t allowed to have big dreams, and I chose a dream that should not be mine..."

"...Mountains changed me and they have made me stronger..."

"...Believe in the seed and give it a chance to grow and see the light. Don’t listen to your parents when they tell you to not follow the seed. For me, this is what I did with my parents. I was really stubborn with them because I had to follow my dreams..."

"...I tell women and girls to be faithful to their dreams..."

"...I have drawn my inspiration from who I am; a Lebanese, and moreover a woman, who had the will and strength to overcome obstacles..."
