Watch Rupali TV’s full interview with Shahd Karaeen, where she reflects on her childhood and the hardships endured by the Palestinian people in their struggle for freedom.
Karaeen, a Palestinian poet and activist born and raised in Jerusalem, left home at eighteen to build a new life in the United Kingdom. What began as a search for opportunity has since evolved into a powerful public voice; she is now a committed advocate for human rights and a prominent figure within her community. Her poetic practice is rooted in her cultural heritage and shaped by the enduring influence of her father, whose values of resilience, dignity, and justice continue to guide her work.
