NEDHAL
Nedhal is a 23-year-old poet. She wrote poetry in Arabic from an early age as a coping strategy and a form of therapy.
She started a poetry workshop during lockdown "find your voice through poetry" was her project, to encourage young women to use poetry as an empowering form of expression.
She arrived in Australia in 2019 and started writing poetry in English since then, performing in local cafes and various events.
