  • SWAB is the art of savoir-vivre with a touch of tyranny. 

It's all about sipping tea gracefully while subtly judging your neighbor's table manners. 

Women are usually the 'Guardians of the Sacred Swab', they are here, and they mean business!

 When it comes to swab institution regulations, negotiation isn't on the table.

 It's a swab-solute must to abide by their rules, like it or not!

Which one surprised you the most & share with us the swab rules you know!

  • Empowering our children to set boundaries is a gift that keeps on giving. 
It teaches them self-respect, self-worth, and the confidence to stand up for themselves. Let’s nurture their ability to say ‘yes’ to what feels right and ‘no’ to what doesn’t, because their well-being matters. #EmpowerKids #HealthyBoundaries #ChildhoodMatters #celebratediversity #unlockingtreasures #diversityandinclusion #kanzyana #rootsandwings #goulhabdarija
  • #GoulhabDarija in brief. 

What, why, and how? 

We are dedicated to the creation of enriching and high quality educational resources and content for Moroccan families raising children abroad.

Our mission is to nurture children’s curiosity, develop their cognitive skills, help them appreciate their unique identity and get in touch with their roots. 

I cannot do it without your support. The best way to spread the word about Kanzyana is through this wonderful community. I count on your support to share our mission of promoting positive self-identity, pride, and empowerment through the knowledge of our roots.

Disclaimer 😁:when recording I have tried to avoid a lot of words in French or English without being different from how I speak daily. I promote darija but I dont  hate other languages. The languages I speak have allowed me to talk to different people around the world, build friendships, laugh, read beautiful books. 

You can be proud of who you are, unapologetic about your identity without hating.

  • Apparently there is a lot of debate about the use of the term "Mother tongue". I don't want to be dramatic but I truly sometimes feel that in the recent year there has been a very conscious effort to "invisibilise" women and mothers. 

By deeming such terminology as inappropriate, we risk making the vital contributions of women, especially mothers, less visible in our language and society. It's essential to recognize and celebrate the richness of language, including words like "mother tongue," while ensuring that all voices and identities, including those of women and mothers, are acknowledged and valued.

I invite you to join me in this journey of language preservation. Let us recognize the immense power of our "mother tongue" and embrace it as a symbol of our cultural heritage. 

Together, we can ensure that our languages continue to thrive, that our values endure, and that our identities remain strong in the face of an ever-changing world.

  • As the summer sun starts to wane and the air fills with the excitement of a new school year, it's a perfect time to celebrate our children's journey back to the classroom. 

Education is a powerful tool that not only shapes our children's minds but also nurtures their sense of self-identity, pride, and empowerment. 🌟 For me, this time of year holds a special place in my heart as it aligns with the mission of my work – promoting Darija and Moroccan culture among our young ones.

In a world that can sometimes feel overwhelming and fast-paced, it's crucial that our children remain connected to their roots. 

Through my work in creating bilingual resources and educational materials, I'm humbled to play a small part in preserving our rich Moroccan heritage. 

Education is not just about acquiring knowledge; it's also about instilling a sense of belonging, understanding, and respect for our cultural heritage. 🇲🇦 By equipping our children with the tools to embrace their roots, we're giving them the wings to soar confidently in a diverse world. 

 And we couldn't do it without your support. We believe that the best way to spread the word about Kanzyana is through our wonderful community. We count on your support to share our mission of promoting positive self-identity, pride, and empowerment through the knowledge of our roots. 

So, as our young learners embark on this exciting academic journey, let's continue to foster an environment where they can learn about their culture, language, and history with joy and enthusiasm. 

Here's to a successful and enriching school year filled with curiosity, cultural exploration, and a deep sense of self!

  • Celebrating Heritage: Nurturing Identity and Pride 

In a world that grows smaller every day, it's crucial to help our children embrace their roots and celebrate their diverse heritage. 

🔍 Representation Matters: Every child deserves to see themselves reflected in the stories of those who have achieved greatness. By introducing them to the accomplishments of past and present figures from their parents' native countries, we empower them to dream beyond boundaries.

💡 Inspiration Across Borders: Learning about the remarkable individuals who have left their mark on history instills a sense of wonder and inspiration. These stories show that with determination, dedication, and belief in oneself, anyone can make a difference.

🌟 Fostering Positive Self-Identification: Understanding their cultural background helps children form a strong sense of self-identity. It's a beautiful way for them to navigate the world while holding onto their unique heritage.

🌍 A Tapestry of Pride: Embracing one's heritage enriches not only personal identity but also the collective fabric of our global society. Let's encourage our children to take pride in their cultural diversity and weave their narratives into the rich tapestry of human history.

Let's nurture a generation that knows the stories of their ancestors, stands on the shoulders of giants, and reaches for the stars.
