Donia

Donia is an Egyptian mother who lives in New York with her husband and two children (born in 2005 and 2012). She is a stepmom to two (born in 1991 and 1995). She is passionate about raising awareness about mental health and neurodiversity and fighting the stigmas surrounding them. She advocates for inclusivity, equality, diversity, and the importance of representation in children's books. She recently published her first children's book, Racing Mind: A Story of a Girl with ADHD, inspired by her younger child, who is diagnosed with ADHD. She hopes that her message, "It's ok to be different," will help neurodivergent children achieve self-love and acceptance. Donia also loves playing the drums and doing Zumba!
