What motivates you to be a changemaker in your community?

As a Palestinian and youth advocate, I’ve learned that staying silent in the face of injustice is a form of complacency I can’t accept. I’m motivated to be a changemaker because real impact requires courage to challenge systems, uplift unheard voices, and step into discomfort to create something better. I believe in turning empathy into action.
