Actor, Writer, Comedian

I’m a storyteller…

I focus on elevating the narrative surrounding Muslims, and the Arab community, in all forms of media.

For a Palestinian American Writer, Actor, and Comedian like me, storytelling is not just a form of artistic expression but a tool for empowerment, empathy, and collective action.

I hope to amplify marginalized voices, challenge stereotypes, and foster meaningful dialogue, ultimately striving to build a more inclusive, compassionate, and equitable world.


My Voice

Blog

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.

Television and Theater

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.

If you want to support my mission, my content or my work, or if my voice simply resonates with you - please feel free to buy me a cup of coffee. Thank you <3

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.
