They also inquired about the strategies Zamzam uses to stay focused and motivated despite setbacks and challenges. Some even asked about the origins of her activism and how she began her work.<br>\n<br>\n\nA clear indication of our students' willingness and interest to engage deeply with topics that resonate with them \u2013 and issues we at Sophia hold as core to our values and principles.\"\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-q-footer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<cite class=\"elementor-blockquote__author\">Youssef El Hana - Secondary Teacher <\/cite>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/blockquote>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c07742d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c07742d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div>Follow Zamzam&#8217;s work:<\/div><div><a href=\"http:\/\/instagram.com\/zamzammcr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=http:\/\/instagram.com\/zamzammcr&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1731515104740000&amp;usg=AOvVaw39HeiA2qDaqHMnY1et-bef\">instagram.com\/zamzammcr<\/a><\/div><div><a href=\"http:\/\/linkedin.com\/in\/zamzam-ibrahim\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=http:\/\/linkedin.com\/in\/zamzam-ibrahim&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1731515104740000&amp;usg=AOvVaw1WOYUBj2gc3z8Zg_h6-Dqc\">linkedin.com\/in\/zamzam-ibrahim<\/a><\/div><div>\u00a0<\/div><div>Thank you to Zamzam for sharing her experiences and wisdom with us, to our students for engaging with such openness and curiosity, and to Youssef for bringing Zamzam to Sophia and making this inspiring event possible.<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last Friday (Nov 8th) we closed our Black History Week activities at Sophia with an inspiring event featuring our honoured guest speaker, Zamzam Ibrahim.
