SOUK
Souk, an innovative fusion of a book and magazine, empowers Middle Eastern women by visually showcasing their narratives globally. Souk reclaims the multifaceted nature of Arab women and provides a platform for their unique stories, breaking free from negative assumptions and stereotypes.
If stories about women from our region are left untold, they may be inaccurately depicted by others. This particular issue explores the lives of diasporic Middle Eastern women in New York City. The content delves into the dual existence, where individuals lead two distinct lives yet endeavour to bridge and consolidate these worlds into a unified identity. This struggle resonates with many diasporic communities and children of immigrants, trying to find their place in a new culture while maintaining ties to their heritage, beliefs, and family. It's about finding a balance between these two worlds or exploring individualism in this space.
The Arab women is multifaceted; she is a businesswoman, a doctor, a fashion designer-she is whatever she aspires to be.
