Queen Rania of Jordan
We are stronger when we listen,and smarter when we share.
Queen Rania of Jordan
It's about using social media for social change: creating a community of advocates who can use their voices on behalf of the voiceless, or leverage their talents, skills, knowledge, and resources to put more children into classrooms, or pressure their elected representatives to get global education top of the agenda.
Queen Rania of Jordan
Of course democracy is good, but it is a process, not a prescription.
Queen Rania of Jordan
Extremism is not endemic in my region, nor is anti-Western sentiment. No doubt there is discontent and distrust. That is towards more the American and some Western policies, and not toward the American people.
Queen Rania of Jordan
Learning to read and write changes lives it means jobs, money, health, and dreams fulfilled.
Queen Rania of Jordan
Being queen is overrated.
Queen Rania of Jordan
I'd rather be dealt with as a person than a persona.
