That rupture launched a remarkable journey across four continents, leading her to Switzerland, Lebanon, France, and ultimately the United States, where she embraced the vibrant energy of New York City. Along the way, Djenane maintains an unshakeable “I can do it” mindset to face the challenges of relocations, motherhood, a tumultuous marriage, love affairs, and divorce. Always keeping her chin up, she shares her transformation from a sheltered childhood steeped in tradition and patriarchy to a self-made woman defined by agency and professional status.
