As a woman and as a UN Women Goodwill Ambassador for Lebanon, I believe we need to talk more about digital abuse and how deeply it harms women and girls.
Defamation, threats, harassment none of it is virtual. The impact is real.

I went through a cyber attack a few years ago and the effect on my mental health was very real.

They say we recreate ourselves each day.
But what if we’ve climbed so far from who we used to be, that we can barely see her from here?

“Dear Everest girl, you won’t believe it,
but this month, we’re training for 5 kilometers.”

As part of the Dubai Fitness Challenge, I’m showing up every day — running, breathing, remembering what it means to move forward.

Through the Rise Again 150KM Challenge, I’m not chasing speed or records. I’m rebuilding — step by step, story by story.
Because rising again isn’t about reaching the top, it’s about finding the strength to begin once more.

And I’ll be sharing the journey with you along the way.
