Writer, Actor, Storyteller
I’m an expert storyteller…
I help leaders, creatives, and brands unlock the power of their narrative and communicate with unapologetic clarity.
It is the core of who I am, the thread that weaves together the seemingly disparate parts of my life: the actor, the writer, the strategist, the advocate, the daughter of immigrants, the Palestinian-American woman.
I amplify marginalized voices, challenge stereotypes, and foster meaningful conversations, towards building a more authentically inclusive and compassionate world.
My Work
Poetry, dream interpretations, and personal reflections. Meaningful experiences from the story of my life. Trigger warning, I talk about grief and the loss of my mother, a lot.
A glimpse into my love of acting, featuring work that I'm honored to have brought to life in television and theater. I take pride in saying I worked alongside some really cool people, and I never played their terrorist.
I focus on elevating the narrative surrounding Muslims, and the Arab community, in all forms of media.

Community Impact
My journey in community programming & advocacy, sharing career highlights and updates. I took the pain I experienced from watching my parents struggle as a kid, and used it as fuel to help others.
Spoken Word - Faux Identity
'Faux Identity' that delves into the complexities of my Palestinian, Muslim, Arab-American identity. I explore themes of belonging, representation, and the challenges of navigating multiple cultural identities in America, particularly in the context of Islamophobia post 9/11. On the weekend of Oct 7th, I performed it live after it was sitting idle in my “Notes” for 6 years. Now, the piece evolves with me.
