    About this audiobook

    Mind Platter is a compilation of reflections on life as seen through the eyes of an educator, student, and human who experienced her early days in silence. It is written in the words of a woman who came from Lebanon to Canada at the age of 16 and experienced what it was like to have fate push her to a place where she didn't belong. It is written in the voice of every person who has felt unheard, mistreated, misjudged, or unseen. The audiobook contains over 200 reflections on topics we encounter in our everyday lives: love, friendship, hurt, inspiration, respect, motivation, integrity, honesty, and more. 

    Mind Platter is not about the words it contains, but what the listener makes of them. May this book give a voice to those who need one, be a crying shoulder for those who yearn for someone to listen, and inspire those who need a reminder of the power they have over their lives.

    Najwa Zebian

    Najwa Zebian is a Lebanese-Canadian activist, author, speaker, and educator. Her passion for language was evident from a young age, when she delved into Arabic poetry and novels. The search for a home — what Zebian describes as a place where the soul and the heart feel at peace — was central to her early years. When she arrived in Canada at age sixteen, she felt unstable and adrift in an unfamiliar place. Nevertheless, she completed her education and went on to become a high school teacher, speaking at multiple schools about poetry, diversity, inclusion, education, equity, culture, and more. She has both a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree in education and a doctorate in educational leadership. Her first students, a group of young refugees, led her back to her original passion: writing. She began to heal her sixteen-year-old self by writing to heal her students. Since self-publishing her first collection of poetry and prose, in 2016, Zebian has become an inspiration to millions of people worldwide and a trailblazing voice for women everywhere — name-dropped by the New York Times, HuffPost, and CBS News, among others. Zebian’s unique journey of breaking out of the mold that society and culture suffocated her with has been an inspiration to millions of people worldwide — many of whom have chosen to have her words tattooed on their bodies. Her ability to articulate soul-deep feelings sets her apart from the rest of the world; that uniqueness coupled with her extensive knowledge of educational pedagogy and teaching in a manner that effectively educates makes her a powerhouse in the field. Through her five books, her podcast (Stories of the Soul), and her own digital school (Soul Academy), she continues to give a voice to countless souls out there aching to be heard.

      Best Audio Book I have ever listened to!
      Najwa Your words are so powerful and so Strong that they give such healing power to the soul and emphasis on self love
    • 3/5
      I think Najwa expresses her emotions really well through words but I wish this was edited as it feels repetitive and nothing unique to what is posted on her social media. Don’t get me wrong, some poems really spoke to me but most seemed like I passed through them without a second thought. I’m glad I didn’t purchase this book. ??
