I wanted to share with all of you some quotes from a latest interview:
“It’s very prestigious and a privilege, but it’s a great responsibility … I would like to model myself as a good example, someone who is educated, who is modern, who is tolerant and flexible.”
“It was only when I started teaching that I realised, ‘Oh, this is where I should be.”
“It’s really nice to be modern and educated but you have to still have some grounding and know where you came from … It would be really sad if we have a generation that has no history.”
“Our female students are going through an identity crisis because they see western education in a very conservative, traditional setting and they don’t know how to negotiate between both … There’s no need to be one or the other – there’s nothing wrong with being hybrid, being a fusion of different cultures.”
The interview can be found in The National [link]
