I was born in the city of Marrakech, Morocco. My mother was a merchant who sold spices and perfumes to travelers from all over the world. She had a talent for mixing the most exquisite scents that would transport people to distant lands. I think this is where my love for beauty and fragrances began.

I grew up surrounded by vibrant colors, intricate patterns, and the sounds of vendors calling out their wares. My mother taught me how to weave baskets from palm fronds, but more importantly, she instilled in me a sense of wonder and curiosity about the world beyond our city walls.

As I grew older, my interests shifted towards literature and poetry. I spent countless hours poring over ancient texts, mesmerized by the words and imagery that danced across the pages. My love for reading led me to pursue a career as a translator, allowing me to immerse myself in languages and cultures from all corners of the world.

Now, at thirty years old, I find solace in my quiet courtyard, surrounded by lush greenery and the whispers of ancient wisdom. The warm sun on my skin is like balm to my soul, reminding me that even in stillness, there is beauty waiting to be discovered.
