IN SHORT

From freelance copywriter to successful businesswoman and from grassroots activist to advisor at the top levels of government, Asma Andraos is a woman of many hats. Yet it all centres on one thing: the future of Lebanon. “People often say that I give away too much of my time and skills, but I don’t see it that way,” she says. “People gave us their time, now we should give ours. When it’s for youth, it’s simply the way forward.”
