I was busy surviving, trying to be who others wanted me to be.
Not making trouble.
It always hurt me to see lies and injustice done to others - it burned in my heart.
But when it came to me? I didn’t always realize it.
And when the thought crossed my mind that this was being done to me - I stayed silent.
I waited for someone to understand.
To see there was a mistake.
That an injustice had been done.
In the end, I understood - I’m the one who has to speak.
And to tell.
Between survival and brokenness I found the strength to give myself a voice.
To give myself direction.
To stand up for who I am.
I’m also an artist.
A creator.
A writer.
A painter.
My art is the way I bring out what I’ve been through.
Turning pain into strength.
Turning a personal story into creation.
I’m always learning.
Mainly from life itself.
I studied Computer Engineering at Ruppin.
Production and research for media, with a documentary script that received recognition.
Medical Bio-Energy to help others.
I earned a real estate broker’s license.
I explored religions, cultures, art.
I also expressed myself in other ways.
I was a model and actress.
I participated in an American film.
I portrayed a character in a story published in La’Isha magazine.
I appeared in fashion productions and magazines.
It was an experience that gave me the courage to reveal even the vulnerable parts of myself.
One of the moments that shaped me most was when I left high school in the middle of 10th grade and fled to France to my grandmother.
When I returned to Israel, I wrote an entire paper on the Book of Job.
It wasn’t just an assignment - it was my way back on track, entering directly into 11th grade in the middle of the year.
Today I’m a mother.
And I don’t intend to stay silent anymore.
Not about what was done to me.
Not about what is done to others.
I write here because I believe we all deserve a voice.
Me too.
