From Denmark to Doha
Raised in Denmark after early displacement. Educated in politics and philosophy at the University of London. Shaped by more than a decade of work in education, libraries and integration, and by humanitarian work in Gaza, Egypt, Afghanistan and near the Sudan border.
Today I am based in Doha, where I co-founded Riwaya Studios to tell stories between the Arab world and the wider world.
