From 2014 to 2025, I held various roles within the Anti-Racism Movement (ARM), a local non-profit advocating for migrant domestic workers' rights in the country. Starting with managing one of the first community centers for women migrant domestic workers in the region for a few years, I transitioned into collaboratively building essential operational and monitoring systems for the organization from the ground up, leading into my last position as Knowledge Coordinator. In this role, I produced critically engaging research and crafted thought-provoking political learning and capacity-building programs that were used by staff members and community activists within and outside the organization.

In addition to my day-to-day full-time work, I’ve been involved in grassroots community-building efforts with working-class transgender individuals as the founding member of Queer Mutual Aid Lebanon since early 2020. My long-term desire is to produce an ethnographic account of working class transfeminine communities in Beirut (in the form of a book) within a framework that engages anthropology, leftist political economy, and Lacanian psychoanalysis. I hope that this would open up avenues for meaningful engagements with my material, and with our material realities, in different ways.

Highlighted below are a few projects I’m proud of having been part of, selected for your reading pleasure. You can read more of my past essays and writings by visiting my Academia.edu profile.
