In this powerful and deeply human episode of Tools for Tough Times, I speak with Farah, a 19-year-old student currently living in Gaza. Farah has lived through the unimaginable, displaced more than 20 times in her short life, she has survived airstrikes, mass bombings, and the deaths of family and community members.

This conversation offers a raw, unfiltered look into the lived reality of a genocide, or as Farah has labelled it, a Holocaust. Farah shares what it means to grow up under occupation, to wake up under rubble, and to experience loss after loss - while still daring to dream of a better future.

Together, we explore:

•What daily life in Gaza is like for young people

•The personal toll of displacement, grief, and survival

•How Farah holds on to hope and vision in the face of horror

•The words that keep her going, and the dreams she refuses to let die

Farah’s voice cuts through the noise with clarity and heart. Her story is one of resilience, resistance, and a refusal to be silenced.

If you listen to just one story this week....let it be hers.

Farah and her family literally have nothing, if you are able to, she'd be grateful if you could donate to her GoFundMe for basic food, water and medical supplies: https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-farah-support-her-family-and-fulfill-her-dreams-in-gaza
