CNA938 Rewind - A Letter to Myself: Far'ain Jaafar nurtures children to embrace a world of diversity and shared values

Far'ain Jaafar is an author, educator, and advocate for the wellbeing of children and parents.

Far'ain shares what this journey has taught her about staying true to her heart and finding the space to centre herself.
