"Tomorrow marks the third anniversary of the murder of my friend Halla Barakat. This took me three years to write. It was over 42 pages when I first wrote it. I had so much to say. I was so overwhelmed with grief and spiraling into so much ancestral grief for the women who have suffered in Syria. Her story is one of thousands of Syrian women revolutionaries who died since 2011, and whose spirits live on. I pray sharing this small piece helps you understand what we are fighting for."
