Sarina Soleymani is a political science student at Sciences Po Paris, Menton campus concentrating on the Middle East and Mediterranean region. Coming from an Iranian background and having migrated, she is interested in the role that larger political conflicts, actors and institutions have on a personal level. Her interest focuses on the people who have no choice other than to leave their homes in search of a safer and better future— notably refugees—and the hardships they face ranging from unsafe routes, loneliness and systemic discriminations. Sarina is especially interested in using writing and notably journalism as a tool for activism by shedding light and spreading awareness on the previously mentioned issues through authentic voices and testimonies. Aiming to work both in the humanitarian and journalistic field, she wishes to use this opportunity to begin the practical steps needed to create the change she wishes on the smaller scale.
