They Thought Harvard… They Went Silent When She Said “Harran” | Kübra Müjde
A life that began in Akçakale, a district of Şanlıurfa…
A family story shaped by migration…
And a single sentence from a kindergarten teacher: “You will become an artist.”
Kübra Müjde Braun is a painter and educator, a graduate of Harran University.
Today, she lives in the UK, where her journey from London to Newcastle has led her to found a global movement that connects Turkish children with art, museums, and their mother tongue.
When asked, “Did you study at Harvard?” she always gives the same answer:
“No, there’s a letter missing… Harran University.”
In this documentary-style exclusive interview, you will hear about:
• her migration journey from Urfa to the UK,
• how the Qbicart brand grew to receive up to 89 private lesson requests per week during the pandemic,
• the diaspora impact spreading from London to Toronto, Dubai, and Singapore,
• and how a Turkish woman’s artwork was displayed as a flag on a castle in England for nine months.
Art, education, entrepreneurship, and female courage…
This is not just a success story — it is a powerful narrative about identity, language, culture, and belonging.
