Zaynab Mohammed
Award-Winning Performance Poet
"I am Iraqi, Lebanese and Palestinian. The countries my parents grew up in, the cultures my family carries, the language of my grandmothers, the smell of tea and the taste of sweets, are what root me in my being. I pay homage to my ancestors, that carry my heavy heart, as I weave stories and poems to share with the world."
In 2022, Zaynab interviews 47 people from her community. She asks them these questions which inform and inspire the one woman show she is currently working on.
