About

I believe in the importance of not only telling my own story, but being able to empower others to feel comfortable and proud to tell their stories. Whether this be through social media, drama, public speaking or visual arts. My purpose and vision is to arm young people globally with the tools and skills to embrace their freedom of expression. Using drama and public speaking as the medium, I engage with our future leaders on subject matter that is both relevant and life-changing. I continue to contribute to the media industry through print, digital, radio and television content. I am also a contributor to the Khaleej Times writing a bi-weekly column around various themes, with the view to inspiring others through honest, real, well-timed media. Some of my most prestigious moments include:
