There is No Dignity in Genocide.

My name is Nevin Naeem Al-Hasanat and I am a Black Palestinian woman from Gaza. Although it was often stressful living beneath the violence of occupation, our life was fairly quiet and very beautiful. My husband, Muhammad Abu Shabab worked as a painter and decorator, and together we saved and built our dream home in our tight-knit community where we raised our three young children, Elaf, Ameer, and Adam. I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Public Relations and Media, and had dreams to complete my Master's and Doctorate so that I could give my children a better life and be able to provide them with everything they wished for.
