Writing our Roots: Rifk Ebeid's Journey

In this episode of Siti’s Stories, we sit down with Rifk Ebeid, a Palestinian children’s author whose journey proves that passion—not timelines—should guide our paths. Rifk shares how storytelling has shaped her advocacy and how books can be a powerful tool for preserving Palestinian identity.

We explore the importance of creating impact in our own ways, following your passions and turning them into realities, and how parents can connect their children to Palestine through books. Join us for an inspiring conversation on following your passion, making a difference, and empowering the next generation.
