एक शरणार्थी के रूप में बड़े होने, फिर फ्रांसीसी बनने और उसके बाद अमेरिकी बनने के अपने अनुभव से मैं जो सीख रही हूँ, वह यह है कि राष्ट्रीयताएँ वे सीमाएँ हैं जिनका इस्तेमाल हम खुद को बांटने के लिए करते हैं। हम सब एक ही मानवता का हिस्सा हैं। मैं अपनी आवाज़ हर इंसान के नाम समर्पित करना चाहती हूँ।
What I am learning from my experience as someone who grew up as a refugee, who became French, and then became American is that nationalities are something that we use to divide us. We are all one humanity. I want to dedicate my voice to all people.

सालों पहले, संवाद करना आसान नहीं था, और न ही जानकारी फैलाना आसान था। हम कुछ चुनिंदा मीडिया घरानों तक सीमित थे जो दुनिया भर में दर्शकों की संख्या को नियंत्रित करते थे और परिणामस्वरूप, जनमत पर अपना नियंत्रण रखते थे। लेकिन आज, यह मंच लोकतांत्रिक हो गया है। दुनिया भर का कोई भी समुदाय इसमें मदद कर सकता है। यही हमारे इस दौर की सबसे बड़ी खासियत है।
Years ago, it wasn't easy to communicate, and it wasn't easy to spread information. We were limited to the few media outlets that controlled viewership around the world and, by consequence, controlled the public opinion. But today, this platform is democratized. Any community around the world can help. That is the great thing about our time.

मेरी राय में, वे राजनेता मतदान के आंकड़ों और राजनीतिक रणनीतियों के आधार पर फैसले लेते हैं। लेकिन अगर वे शरणार्थियों के बारे में एक इंसान की तरह बात करें - इस बात से परे कि इससे उनके करियर या व्यक्तिगत सुख-सुविधाओं पर क्या असर पड़ेगा - और अगर वे एक पल के लिए भी किसी माँ को देखें, जो सड़क के किनारे बैठी है, अपने बच्चों को पकड़े हुए है, ठंड से कांप रही है, और इसलिए रो रही है क्योंकि वे भूखे हैं, तो मुझे यकीन है कि उनकी इंसानियत का कोई न कोई हिस्सा जरूर कांप उठेगा।
In my opinion, those politicians are making decisions based on calculations related to polling numbers and strategic political agendas. But if they are to talk about refugees in a human way - far from how this would affect their careers or individual comforts - and if they, for a second, look at a mother, sitting on a road somewhere, holding her children, shivering with cold, and crying because they are hungry, I'm sure there is a part of their humanity that would shiver.

यासमीन के तौर पर, मैं यह काम हर रोज करती हूँ। मैं सुबह उठती हूँ, और अगर मैं किसी को बेहतर महसूस कराने के लिए कुछ कर सकती हूँ, तो मैं करती हूँ। मैं बुलावा आने का इंतजार नहीं करती; मुझे लगता है कि यह सबसे खराब चीज है जो हम कर सकते हैं। मैं हर सुबह उठकर किसी एक इंसान के लिए एक अच्छा काम करने और उसे बेहतर महसूस कराने को अपना कर्तव्य मानती हूँ।
For me, as Yasmine, I do this every day. I wake up in the morning, and if I can do something to make someone feel better, I do it. I do not wait to be invited; I think that's the worst thing we can do. I make it my job to wake up every day and do one thing for one person and make them feel better.
