Orchards <excerpt>
"I want to be part of planting a legacy that surpasses war and human greed. That goes beyond you and me and becomes a gateway for what we can’t even imagine yet. A world where beauty is so intoxicating we become drunk poets. Piercing through the veil of audacity and transforming our pain into beauty, into magic, into possibility."
-Zaynab Mohammed
