Sana's voice

  Sana Hallaq is a young, Syrian girl who is about 10 years old. Her family lives in Atareb, a small town in Syria. During the war she discovered that singing is her way of "survival". She says that it takes her to another world where she feels safe and calm. Since her family moved there she's given almost 60 concerts and she dreams to do it professionally when she grow up.
  Her story is one of those that remain in your mind forever. It moves me how passionate she is about music and how she overcomes her fears by singing. After watching that video I've realised that it's not war that defines all of those people, but it's their will to live like humans, to find joy and purpose even when every day they're afraid of losing everything, even their own lives.

flash fiction again

  .There is this girl that is always smiling.
She will never tell you what's bothering her for she cares too much about not hurting anyone.
  There is this girl that is always dancing on her own. She seems happy yet the ground is constantly shaking under her tiny feet.
  This girl seems tough. And she will be, one day. But for now - she's had enough.

BBC Woman's hour

              Woman's hour

  A few women invited to the programme discussed some issues connected to gender, colour inequality. 

  First spoke Leomie Anderson. She talked about the injustice in the fashion buisness that women of colour like her have to struggle with.

  Later they talked about the campaign which encourages men to let women take some of their sits in the cabinet so that they also have a chance to take part in decision making.

  There was also a discussion about giving and receiving advice

  Lastly the hostess talked to Rae Earl about the social anxiety.

 

  I was very happy that I found a podcast like that but I didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I did. The subjects that were broached were interesting and relatable to me and I've heard about some things for the first time which is also stimulating me to think more about certain issues. I've especially enjoyed listening to Leomie Anderson because she talked about problems that most people in our society aren't aware of and in my opinion it's important that influencers like her are outspoken and talk about difficult topics as well.

My flash fiction

She always had to wait for him with dinner because he tended to disappear right before it was served. And he always had to listen her scream because she tended to get annoyed easily. There was not a single day without a fight and there were too many days when no one said a three letter word.
They both seemed bored and careless until she fell asleep one day and didn't open her eyes later. Suddenly all of their old habits seemed to be acts of true love that no one else noticed but them.
