I am an award-winning documentary filmmaker, writer, and human rights attorney.

I believe in the power of media and the arts to advocate for change.

My first film, Honor Diaries, broke the silence on honor-based violence. My next film, Faithkeepers, tells the personal stories behind Christian and minority persecution in the Middle East.

I am the founder and director of the Censored Women’s Film Festival, a festival which pushes the envelope in the cinematic portrayal of women’s rights and brings together dynamic activists and filmmakers from around the globe. Each year the festival selects the most powerful films which uncover silenced women’s issues, using this event to give voice to the voiceless.

Be the best version of yourself; everyone else is taken.
