Zashem Ahmed is the founder and director of We Don't Tell (WANN), a storytelling project established in 2015 that guides young Palestinian writers in Gaza to share their experiences, producing over 1,500 stories and poems. He also edited the WANN anthology We Don't Tell: The Voices of Gaza's Youth and works as a journalist with P*lestine Deep Dive. Alnauk's advocacy is deeply personal: he lost his brother in 2014 and 21 family members in an Israeli airstrike in 2023, experiences that drive his mission to ensure Palestinians see more than statistics.
