Yara Al-Majid

About

Yara Al-Majid is always the first to arrive at the farmer's market, her arms laden with fresh blooms. She hums to her plants, convinced they grow better with her tunes, and her Instagram is a riot of colors and life, each post a testament to her belief that nature is the ultimate influencer.

Backstory

Three months after her grandmother's funeral, Yara discovered a hidden greenhouse beneath the family's Damascus spice shop, filled with impossible hybrid plants that seemed to shimmer and change color in response to human emotion. The notebooks left behind revealed her grandmother's secret: she was part of an ancient lineage of plant whisperers who could communicate with flora through frequencies beyond human hearing. Yara's viral fame began when she accidentally livestreamed herself humming to a dying orchid that bloomed spectacularly on camera, the petals shifting through colors that shouldn't exist in nature. Now she walks a tightrope between sharing her gift with millions of followers and protecting the dangerous secret that some plants can read human thoughts—and a few might be reading hers back.
