The Power of Acceptance: Luma Mufleh's Struggle and Triumph

Born into strict Muslim traditions in Syria and raised in Jordan, Luma is a beacon of hope and courage for all of us in the LGBTQ+ community.
Her personal coming out story is complex; spanning cultures, religions, and generations. As a young adult in a country where being gay was considered a crime, Luma came out to her parents and was disowned, it took many years until her own daughter played a pivotal role in reconciling their family. Luma is also testament to the importance of chosen families within the LGBTQ+ community.
Luma is also the founder of Fugees Family (fugeesfamily.org/) , a non-profit that aids child survivors of war and Luma shares how her personal coming out experience positively impacts her work.
