## Biography

### Prologue

Latifa was born on late July 2001, in Yemen to a family of Palestinian immigrants of Greek descent, who were olive farmers that originally lived in an area near the Dead Sea, several decades prior to the Six-Day War, which resulted in them migrating to Jordan and several other countries throughout the Middle East for better living conditions. She was the eldest daughter of the al-Juhani children, which consisted of her and her younger brother Ismail, one year her junior, and they would help their parents with their housework and play with each other.

As a child, Latifa lived in Sanaa at the time, and would frequently play with rocks whom she refers to as her friends and as such she barely had any friends to play or talk with, except for her brother, at least until the Houthi insurgency in the country started in 2004 caused by the Yemeni government at the time attempting to arrest the leader of a rebel group, which led to her family moving to the neighboring Oman on exile for 6 years.

At first, Latifa wasn't used to live in a city, but gradually got used to living in it and so far, she had made a friend named Karima, who was originally from Iraq, but their friendship didn't last long, as the latter left the country to live in Jordan with her parents. Eventually, after spending 6 years in Oman, her family was able to come back to live in Sanaa during the Yemeni Revolution, which at the time, demanded the resignation of the former president of the country for several reasons, but that's another story.

    Although the protests were over by March 2012, Latifa and her family moved to a district in Sanaa, and while going to elementary school as usual, they have a happy life in their new home, until things take a turn for the worse in Yemen, as Sanaa was captured by religious militants who took over the government's headquarters, causing the ongoing civil war in the country and her family to flee Sanaa for their safety, settling in Mocha peacefully, but unfortunately on March 2015, her hometown was invaded by the same militants, leading to a bombing of two residential complexes on the summer of the same year, with her and her younger brother along with their mother escaping Yemen on a truck to neighboring Saudi Arabia in exile, leaving their grandfather and father behind, and settled in Riyadh. Nobody knows what happened to the former, except that he was shot down by the militants while wandering to find a home in Taiz.

2 years later, Latifa, now at the age of 16, left Saudi Arabia to settle in Oman with her family and met her old friend after 6 years, who was already an adult and had a family of her own, in which they got in touch with each other and had made a promise to see each other again, which didn't last long, as the former had left the Arabian Peninsula to permanently settle in Cyprus, where she used to live in an apartment with Isaac's now-divorced aunt, who served as her legal guardian, until they were evicted for not paying taxes to the greedy landlord in 2018, and unlike her who went back to Lebanon, Latifa struggled to find a place to live for 3 years by working night shifts at a convenience store in Greece while also taking day classes in high school and night classes in college until she finally found a house in Turkey using all the money she earned from her job, and now a twenty-something woman, she used to work part-time at a radio station in Qatar, offering useful Arabic lessons before eventually becoming the host of her own show Miss Latifa's Arabic Class at her home in Turkey, in which she still works at, even to this day.
