I’m a creative leader and strategist working at the intersection of storytelling, human rights, and cultural impact.

Over the last decade, I’ve led multimedia teams and campaigns at global advocacy organizations like Human Rights Watch and the Human Rights Foundation , producing award-winning video series, podcasts, and event content that center real people and bold ideas. I’ve creative-directed work for international stages like the Oslo Freedom Forum and launched campaigns that moved policies and won Anthem, Shorty and Viddy Awards.

I was born in Yemen, became a refugee, and now live in New York. My lived experience fuels my commitment to justice and informs every story I help bring to life. I believe great storytelling is not just seen, it’s felt, shared, and remembered.

I currently lead multimedia and digital storytelling projects that inform, mobilize, and inspire. My personal mission is to make a positive difference 24 frames per second.
