The first chapter

Every story needs a beginning, and mine starts in Morocco.

It begins with the ordinary things that quietly shape a person: a family that valued effort, a country that taught me warmth and resilience.

This chapter has no ending yet — that's the point. The pages after this one are still blank. I intend to fill them well.
