I caught fire making art for change. I’m a simple person, a lover to life who's passionate about using art as a tool for social change. Animals, my loved ones, dancing and music are what keep me up and floating. I always thought my dream was to be a scene designer/art director in the filmmaking industry, It seemed like an appropriate dream given my degree. Naturally, I gravitated toward the field of filmmaking and worked as a stylist for TV ads for 5 years. It was always exciting with all the money being put into productions, but I kind of felt like meh, I could be doing something better with my life. I yearned to do something more meaningful. Then it happened, the spark I was missing ignited the instant I went to visit VeryNile’s hub in Qursaya Island. I mean seriously, how could it not be great? It’s located on an island in the middle of Cairo, and works to empower marginalized women by getting rid of plastic, through ART!My love for art merged with my passion for social, cultural and environmental development and transformative justice, and it started to flourish. I became more radical, more in tune with my environment, and more creative in my efforts to use art as a driving force for change.
