Sahra Icel, born in 2005 in Brussels, lives in Schaerbeek, has Turkish roots and is a university student. Loves her neighbourhood where many Turkish people also live. She feels really immersed in that culture including weddings or Turkish breakfasts and feels more at home here than in Turkey. She is religious, goes to mosque and feels connected to the Muslim community. She regrets the removal of Nasreddin Hoca's statue, which to her is important to her culture. She feels more equality for women and girls is important. Her questions about the future are about traffic, safety for women and organisation of society.
