About The Book
IF ARAB WOMEN WERE GIVEN A VOICE, WHAT STORY WOULD THEY TELL?
To be a woman is a gift. But that gift does not come without challenges. Historically, women around the globe have fought to be heard. The stories of Arab women in particular have often been veiled in mystery.
In Hear Us Speak, Suzy Kanoo lifts the veil. As a CEO, Suzy has enjoyed great success as an Arab businessperson; as a woman, she has witnessed firsthand how Arab legislation and culture has not always kept pace with a world that continues to evolve. By curating letters from a wide array of women—and one good man—Suzy reveals story after story of courageous, resilient human beings who flourish in the face of impossible odds.
The letters in this book are inspiring, shocking, empowering, harrowing—and a thousand shades between. When read together, they paint a rich portrait of what life is like for Arab women today. These are wives, mothers, daughters, and sisters. They are businesspeople, entrepreneurs, citizens, and refugees. They have seen and done remarkable things, been bruised and emerged stronger for it.
Hear Us Speak is a book by and for women, a chorus of voices that will forever change the way you see the world.

Raves and Reviews
What is it really like to be an Arab woman?
That was the question Suzy Kanoo set out to answer. It took her farther than she ever expected—through the Arab world and beyond. She met journalists and housewives, business executives and social media influencers, and women in the shadows who had never before been given a voice. Each of their stories was unique, yet all shared common themes of strength and resilience.
When read together, these letters tell one larger story: the story of the Arab woman. Whether written by a prominent CEO or a Syrian refugee, the letters in Hear Us Speak are much like the women who wrote them: bold and authentic, honest and brave, with no two exactly the same. Suzy elegantly weaves them together into a beautiful tapestry that will stand the test of time.
