For many years Arabs in the US have been marginalized and categorized in misrepresentative categories which caused many professionals of Arab decsent to compromise their “Arabness” as an idenity in the workplace. Since April 2022 was the first official celebration of Arab American Heritage Month nationwide, I decided to organize and moderate an event around Arab American experiences in the workplace within the advertising/media industry in partnership with 100 Roses From Concrete

Presenting my film ONCE UPON A COLOR as part of POST UNIVERSITY’s Media Literacy Week discussing the “Creation” part in Media production. I emphasized on how creators of marginalized backgrounds amplify their identity narratives as part of the messaging when creating media content and how their lived experiences allowed them to be versatile and fluid with media production tactics.
In partnership with 100 Roses From Concrete, I’ve had the pleasure to co-organize and moderate a panel with queer-identifying professionals of different intersectional backgrounds as they share their experiences navigating the workplace. The purpose of the event is to highlight the distinct queer experiences that exist within the community and how different perspectives take place when it comes to shaping and understanding queer identities and their importance in the corporate structure.
