Labiba Abdellatif is an Egyptian-Australian poet whose work is both resistance and refuge. Labiba writes of identity, memory, and the quiet strength of Arab womanhood, transforming grief into power and vulnerability into truth. On stage, her voice bridges struggle and healing, turning poetry into both prayer and protest.
