Hidden Ancestry in the Middle East is about the journey of a young woman uncovering her Lebanese roots and grappling with her complex identity in the face of cultural expectations and historical legacies.

With a blend of personal reflection and academic inquiry, she explores how the past shapes the present and confronts the challenges of standing confidently in her truth. This story is a compelling exploration of heritage, resilience, and the pursuit of self- understanding amidst the pressures of modern academia.
