Randa Ghazy

I was born in Italy to Egyptian parents and studied International Relations, Economics and Political Science at the University of Milan.
In 2002, at the age of 15, I wrote my first novel, “Sognando Palestina” (Dreaming of Palestine), which has been translated in 16 countries. In 2005, i published my second novel, “Prova a sanguinare: Quattro ragazzi, un treno, la vita” ( Try to Bleed: Four Kids, a Train, Life) and in 2007 my third novel ” Oggi forse non ammazzo nessuno. Storie minime di una giovane musulmana stranamente non terrorista” ( Today I’m not Going to Kill Anyone: Short Stories of a Young Muslim and Non- terrorist.)

In 2012, I moved to London, where I earned my MA in International Journalism at City University. I worked for four years as a Segment Producer at Al Araby TV and as a freelance producer for Vice News and CNN International.
I'm currently the Middle East, North Africa and Eastern Europe Media Manager for Save the Children International, having deployed to Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast, Somalia, occupied Palestinian territory, Jordan, and southern Türkiye to cover the earthquake.
