An Arab Women's Notebook: Inspirational Stories by Arab Women to the World

As a wife and mother, Dana moved to Toronto in 2003 where she became saddened each day by the world view of the Arab community as displayed on the news. Although she felt that so much in the news about Arabs was far from true, deep down she began to question her own identity. Consequently, Dana created a Facebook group called Arab Women Success to learn more about and connect with Arab women living in Canada. “I stopped feeling I needed to defend who we are because I never identified myself with any terrorist group or killers.”   She decided to create this book of stories written by Arab women so the world could learn more about Arabs through a collection of short stories. In an Arab Women’s Notebook the authors share their stories of happiness, pain, love, friendship, work, immigration and more, bringing a sense of how connected we really are to each other as well as women everywhere. “I am so proud of this book.  It is truly a dream come true for me. I welcome the world to connect with my beautiful community and see it through the light that I one full of Love.” Dana currently lives in North Carolina, United States with her three children and husband. On the weekend you can find her fishing by a river with her kids or on road trip headed towards another adventurous getaway.
