Early life

Despite living in a primarily white neighbourhood, Ayed’s parents sought to give her and her three siblings a traditional Arab upbringing: from a young age, Ayed became fluent in English, French, and Arabic, learning the first two languages from her immediate schooling and the last from her mother at home.[1] At this point, fearing that their children would lack traditional values, Hassan and Nariman decided to move to a Palestinian refugee camp in Amman, Jordan, where the family would live with their other relatives and be entirely immersed in Arab culture.

The family stayed there for seven years before moving back to Winnipeg in [2]

In , Ayed published her memoir, titled A Thousand Farewells: A Reporter’s Journey from Refugee Camp to the Arab Spring, describing her early life and her experiences covering conflict in the Middle East.

    Nahlah ayed biography of williams sisters Love, betrayal, and a secret war: the untold story of two elite agents, one Canadian, one British, who became one of the most decorated couples of WWII. But not long after their hasty marriage, their love is tested by separation, by a titanic invasion—and by indiscretion. Writing in vivid, heart-stopping prose, Ayed follows Sonia as she plunges into Nazi-occupied France and slinks into black market restaurants to throw off occupying Nazi forces, while at the same time participating in sabotage operations against them; and as Guy, in another corner of France, trains hundreds into a resistance army. Reconstructed from hours of unpublished interviews and hundreds of archival and personal documents, the story Ayed tells is about the ravaging costs of war paid for disproportionately by the young. But more than anything, The War We Won Apart is a story about love: two secret agents who were supposed to land in enemy territory together, but were fated to fight the war apart.
