IN SHORT

After surviving an assassination attempt that took her hand and foot and caused severe burns over much of her body, May Chidiac refused to be defeated. She returned to her outspoken brand of political journalism, took to the screen and set up the May Chidiac Foundation. She’s now planning a career in politics. “Laugh and the world laughs with you; weep, and you weep alone,” that has been my motto ever since that day.
