Short Bio
I am an Egyptian-American cultural connector, storyteller, and community builder based in San Antonio, Texas. My work has always been centered on bridging worlds—across cultures, industries, and communities—and turning those connections into meaningful impact.
My background spans public affairs, event production, and community engagement, including my work at the U.S. Embassy in Cairo and leading large-scale cultural initiatives in the United States. Through platforms like DreamWeek San Antonio, I’ve helped create spaces where diverse communities can come together, be seen, and feel represented.
I am the founder of The Lilly Agency and MENA of San Antonio, where I focus on elevating Middle Eastern and North African voices and building platforms that foster cultural exchange, visibility, and connection. I have also been a dedicated advocate for Arab American Heritage Month, contributing to its recognition and celebration at the city level.
In recognition of this work, I was honored as one of Arab America’s 40 Under 40 in Washington, D.C.—a milestone that affirmed my commitment to representing our community with both excellence and purpose.
As an Arab woman, I embrace both strength and elegance, tradition and modernity. Through storytelling, fashion, and public platforms, I express that identity with intention—challenging stereotypes and redefining what it means to be both feminine and powerful.
Everything I do is guided by one belief:
I turn knowledge into access, and access into impact.
Through my work and my voice, I aim to create spaces where others—especially women from our communities—feel seen, confident, and inspired to lead.
