Katia Saab, born in Beirut, fled the civil war at the age of 16 and found refuge in Quebec. Initially drawn to journalism, she paused her academic journey to raise a family. In 2008, she earned a certificate in business management and went on to build a distinguished career in operations management, marked by 23 years of experience. In 2013, she was honored as one of Quebec’s eight most influential women in business services. Now retired, she dedicates herself to writing, where her poetry offers a deeply personal reflection on resilience, authenticity, and the ongoing search for self.
