New Release: However Fragile
Uplifting, courageous, and affirming.

Congratulations, Shahd Alnaami and her team on the release of However Fragile! If you’ve ever heard Shahd speak in person and felt greatly transformed by what she had to say, you will not want to miss this uplifting and affirmative story. Shahd’s words motivate us to do our best no matter the challenges.
Zine description
Tasneem, a brilliant young woman in Gaza, has overcome many obstacles to become a college lecturer, but just as opportunity begins to bloom, a new assault on the Gaza strip begins. Life stops, schools close, and workplaces shutdown. Tasneem is faced with two options: watch her dreams fade into ruin or keep them alive, no matter how fragile and uncertain her heart becomes.
Editions: English, monochrome and coloured print versions.
