Wejdan Shamala

Wejdan Shamala is a proud Palestinian and Aotearoa/New Zealand citizen. Her studies in international relations, philosophy and education have put her in constant awe of the human mind. Outside of her work in education, Wejdan spends her time engaging in philosophic debates (i.e, triggering people), trying to raise conscious children and advocating for human and animal rights. Her poetic works portray the intricacies of survival, remembrance and belonging.
