Survivors
When a friend asked me what's the one article I feel proud to have written, it has got to me this. A few years ago, an Editor from Gulf News rang up asking for interesting ideas for Breast Cancer awareness. I didn't want to do the run-of-the-mill pieces about dealing with the dreaded disease. Instead I opted for a look at women who have overcome all obstacles and shine as a beacon of light for us all. I'm happy to have interviewed women of various nationalities and walks of life for this piece. We got to know each other in a short span of time and were able to meet up for a special photo shoot for the cover story. Each of the women come from different walks of life but their laughter still resonates in my ears. I learnt a lot from each and everyone of them. This is the outcome. https://gulfnews.com/uae/health/survivors-and-winners-all-1.1909757 Survivors and winners all By Abigail Mathias - Special to GN Focus Nafisa Mohammad Youssef, Late 50
