Just graduated from my masters at Harvard in Middle Eastern studies. Starting soon in Cultural Strategy at SHF and editing my poetry collection for publication - community support and conversions with like minded creatives would help unlock my next level

I’d love to connect with creatives, cultural practitioners, and like-minded individuals in my field to talk about generative collaborations, but also to have rich and meaningful conversations in general. As a practicing poet/artist and someone who’s traversed the landscape of culture in the UAE and abroad, I look forward to contributing through sharing insights, inciting literary/artistic collaborations, giving workshops, talks, poetry readings, and research/publication contributions. I feel that I could especially add a literary angle to the community considering my engagement with the field over the past decade+ as a practicing writer, co-founder of a chapbook press, and a range of experiences locally and abroad.
