Tales of belonging - from mother to daughter

How do you know where you belong and what your identity is if you are born to diasporic parents, and how could your matriarchal lineage be key to keeping a culture alive?

Daily acts of love and care can have the most profound impact in understanding who and what we are; how we tend the land, how we cook, the songs and stories we tell our children and grandchildren.

Samar Yunis grew up in her home country Kuwait with diasporic parents from Palestine. As such she has been navigating concepts of selfhood, identity, belonging, and how societal norms impact us. Samar is a physical therapist, a leader, coach and educator and most recently a grandmother. As a social emergence catalyst, and a regenerative change facilitator, Samar is interested in the interwoven relationality of life.
