Menna El Gendy

Menna has been pouring out bits and pieces of her world on paper, even before realizing she wanted to become a writer. In a world of her own, drifting through the crowds, Menna is a mixture of strong opinions, stubbornness and colliding energy. She always chooses to explore the taboo and strange but is most interested in exploring the human side of the stories she scours after; and she isn’t afraid to do so.
