Shadia Ghantous

Actress

"It is a blessing to be born with a passion for acting. We are present day versions of our ancestors, the cavemen that sat around a fire reenacting events and telling stories that brought everyone closer together. The ability to evoke emotions in an audience without direct contact is an unexplainable high. I cannot imagine what my life would be like if I wasn't a storyteller. I am a vessel used to bring someones story to life."
