Quotes

  • Ramadan in Canada certainly does not have the Meknès flavor or the family atmosphere, in the broad sense. Of course, on a small scale, with my husband and my children, we create the right conditions to fully experience our Ramadan with its spirituality as well as its chhiouates, but what we miss are the voices of the Muezzen rising from all the minarets of the city, in a natural harmony at the time of breaking the fast.
  • I simply like barbecue, grilling, but the flavor of my mother's kefta mechouiya and mderbel eggplant tagine is unique and I can't find it anywhere else!
  • In my opinion, we do not assert ourselves by gender but by the relevance of ideas and firmness in positions, we also assert ourselves when we move things forward towards new horizons and we assert ourselves especially when we never give up a just fight.
