I’ve sold weed. I’ve pitched and executed high-performing brand marketing and growth marketing campaigns for a women’s financial company. I wrote and led strategy for a financial newsletter with an audience size of 330K and helped get more money in the hands of women. I rode the Matterhorn with Rico Nasty. I quarantined with Tame Impala. I did talk therapy with Robyn. I’ve asked rappers for love advice. I’ve partied with Red Bull. I’ve written about homelands — and the sandwiches that remind me of home. An essay I wrote even gets taught in schools (and will help you learn how to say my name right).

Nylon Magazine once called me a “Muslim journalist to follow” on the Internet, for whatever that’s worth in 2025.
