Asma’s Activism Beyond The Court
Asma collaborated with @madebydyslexia to name the challenges she faced in early education. She expresses what dyslexia means to her and contrasts it to the red markings that were all over her writings in the classroom. But these very same markings for Asma, later turned to self-empowerment that ripples until today. In raising awareness to others that Dyslexia is a strength that is home to innovation and creativity, the viewer is left to reflect on the power of the Dyslexic mind. Beautiful work!
