I am a well-travelled American illustrator with a passion for animals, particularly little white dogs. It was after the sudden loss of my first Husband that I took a teaching position in the Middle East, the experience healed my soul and I once again found love and converted to Islam. The travels opened my eyes to advantages to working and living in a multicultural environment and the challenges facing women in the region particularly on issues on equality. Empowering women with education became my second passion and the transition
into visual communications provided creative ways to increase the message of female empowerment. In the years since I returned from the Middle East, I have applied the experience in teaching and creating educational content for the online environment and face to face workshops. I enjoy pushing boundaries, exploring technology and creative software to produce fluid instruction whether it be for training workshops in Industry or delivering a fine arts class.
When women of my generation say to me, they don’t believe they can master technology I say well look at me I am a real old-school fine artist and I can do it so, you can too.
Co-founding Itsherstory and contributing to empowering feminist content brings together everything I have learned in life, women need to support women in all aspects of life but particularly in aspiring younger women to break through barriers that have no business
being there is in the first place.
