The UN has always meant collective action to me — countries and communities coming together to protect opportunity and choice. Motherhood deepened that conviction. And it’s the same belief that shapes All About Her."
Soha concluded the post saying, "Some journeys come full circle — but with even more purpose. Here we go."
