Saad’s work is driven by her powerful desire to ‘become a good ancestor’; to live and work in ways that leave a legacy of healing and liberation for those who will come after she is gone. She earned her Bachelor of Law degree from Lancaster University in the United Kingdom. She lives in Doha\, Qatar with her husband\, Sam\, and two children\, Maya and Mohamed. Learn more at www.laylafsaad.com.
