My Story

My story began long before I ever stepped onto a stage or captivated an audience with my words. It started in the quiet glow of bedtime, where I lay nestled under my blankets, eyes wide with wonder. Every night, my father would sit by my side, weaving tales that danced through my imagination.

There was the clever rabbit who always outsmarted the cunning fox, and the unforgettable 3am Marzouq with his magical El Soltania bowl. Each story carried a spark of wisdom, a touch of adventure, and a whisper of magic. These tales didn’t just entertain me — they planted seeds. As I listened, the stories took root in my heart, blooming into a love for storytelling, reading, and the boundless power of imagination.

Years later, armed with a degree from the American University in Cairo and a career in international companies, I seemed destined for the corporate world. But the stories never left me — they lingered in my mind, calling me back to that magical world of wonder and connection. In time, I realized my true calling wasn’t in boardrooms or spreadsheets, but in the timeless art of storytelling.

Thus began my journey — not just as a storyteller, but as a guardian of tales; an artist dedicated to sharing the same magic I once felt as a child, and lighting that spark in others. The little girl who once listened wide-eyed to her father’s stories has grown into a woman who now tells her own — connecting generations through the beauty of words.
