What Afraa asks of its bearer

At the opening of Afraa stands Meem: an outward self made of love. Inside the name, Meem brings an interior of love and water. These are what the name does without ever announcing it. Afraa ends in Meem — the life closes in mercy. Read together, the letters ask her to embody white as a lived structure, not merely a definition.
