Nayiri Baboudjian Bouchakjian is an educator, writer, and storyteller, who grew up in Lebanon witnessing the civil war, countless assassinations, and explosions. An educator at heart, she has been teaching English Language and Literature for the past 18 years. She loves working with teenagers, empowering them and coaching them to become better versions of themselves. Having trained and mentored over a dozen students for international public speaking competitions, Nayiri believes that teaching should be accompanied with respect, empathy, and motivation. She writes to soothe the banalities of living in a war zone, which more recently has also become a hub of economic meltdown. She is currently working on her memoir which includes stories about growing up in a multiple trauma land, being a caregiver to both her parents and taboo issues associated with body image, and mental health. She has edited two books and is currently working on the third one, along with some translation projects.
