ABOUT ME

I am a writer, researcher, and filmmaker based between London and Morocco. My work explores identity, belonging, and power, with a focus on mixed-heritage and working-class lives that are often marginalised or misrepresented.

I’ve been writing for the stage for five years and producing theatre for more than seven, developing work that sits between storytelling, research, and lived experience. My practice draws on folklore, feminism, and oral tradition, and centres questions of inheritance, memory, and who gets to be heard within cultural and social structures.

In 2024, My play RAH (★★★★) was longlisted for the RSC’s 37 Plays and later shortlisted for the Verity Bargate Award. My play Cally was longlisted for the Women’s Prize for Playwriting, and my debut play its only funny with stage directions was published in Arab Stages. In 2024, I was awarded an Arts Council England DYCP grant to develop Whispers of Tradition, a research-led project exploring Irish and Moroccan folktales, and was later invited to spend a month in Cairo as part of D-CAFE’s cohort, a collaboration between the British Council and Orient Productions.

My current play, Spicy White, is being developed through Theatre Deli’s Shift+Space programme and is set to debut in 2025.

Alongside theatre, I’m expanding my practice into film and long-form writing. I publish essays and reflective work exploring identity, language, and cultural inheritance, and I’m currently developing screen-based projects that extend my interest in storytelling across forms.

Alongside my writing, I produce my own work and support emerging artists from underrepresented backgrounds through workshops and collaborative projects.
