GOOD NEWS FROM THE MIDDLE EAST
LENA KASSICIEH
En Writer
We are here to capture the vibrant voices of the Middle East. We want to unveil the flavors of its multiple cultures,
to celebrate the spirit of its young entrepreneurs, to discover the gems of its environment and the vibes of its
booming artists.
We are here to shed light on those invisible heroes crafting the Arab legends our grandchildren will someday read.
Our ambitious goal is to inspire, to empower, and to connect our youth with local role models they can look up to.
We are not just idealists: we know there’s a lot of good happening in the Middle East, and we’re on a mission to
shout it out to the world.
