My name is Shadi, founder of Palestine Soul, a small business born in the heart of Gaza — a place enduring unimaginable hardship. I am a displaced survivor of war and genocide, having lost nearly everything: my home, loved ones, friends, and the life I once knew.

Palestine Soul is more than just a store. It is my lifeline, my only source of income, and a deeply personal way to stay connected to my identity and my cause. Every piece I offer — Palestinian accessories — carries the story of resilience, culture, and the soul of a people who refuse to be erased.

From under the rubble, this store is my voice. Through it, I share a piece of Palestine with the world — and hold on to hope.
