Welcome!

Hi, I'm Nariman


I come from Egypt and I have 10 years of experience working globally on grassroots and policy levels wearing several hats. My consultancy services offer a broad range of possibilities crafting the experience that meets your needs and theory of change. 

I am a facilitator of difficult conversations and social transformation processes, an educator, a designer of learning experiences, a community organizer for the possible emergence of new stories in our world, a catalyst of social innovation ecosystems, as well as a policy analyst and researcher. 

I am on a quest for a world where we critically examine and re-imagine our personal, inter-personal and systemic relationships and co-create regenerative lives for the people and the planet. I center my life's work around social justice and human dignity.
