My name is Meriem. I am twenty years old, a Tunisian-Berber... and I am alive.

I was born in a desert called Tataouine, went through hardship, trauma and very sad, bad things in life. I rebelled, and managed to escape to the United States on a full funded scholarship in August 2016.

I a feminist blogger, a writer, a model, an advocate for human rights and a student at Saint Catherine University (St Paul, Minnesota)

I am currently seeking asylum in the US... I am so powerful, I don't know, I just am.

These are my very true stories, no exaggeration and no lies... it is what it is... and I have a dream.
