Raya is an A-level student living in Al Ain, United Arab Emirates, and is a passionate storyteller who loves turning ideas into writing that connects and resonates. Her style blends reflection with realism - she writes pieces that feel honest, thoughtful, and rooted in emotion. Whether she’s exploring endangered languages and language policies, sports and movies, or the way young people see the world, she aims to make readers pause and think.
