Who am I?

I'm a 25 year old Lebanese-Canadian advertising graduate. I wrote and published two books, Sense of Tumor 1 and 2 after being diagnosed and treated for a severe leukemia (blood cancer). I'm two years post bone marrow transplant, and I'm looking forward to what life has to offer. Before moving to Canada, I reached a big success with my books, I gave speeches to honorable audiences, including Her Majesty, Queen Silvia of Sweden. Unfortunately, last August the Beirut Blast happened and I was there. So my only choice was to leave.


What do I think about A New Kind of Beautiful TV series Presented by The Fashion Hero TV series?

I absolutely respect and appreciate the diversity at The Fashion Hero. It's not often that we show a raw beauty, unedited, untouched, and imperfect. The possibility of becoming a leader in a world where beauty standards exclusively target a certain niche of society, is already a huge step forward towards an improved modern world.


Why would I be a great role model for this generation and inspire people as the new face of A New Kind Of Beautiful TV series Presented by The Fashion Hero?

I have given hundreds of testimonies regarding my life story. I have overcome sufferance and illness, and turned it into a model of resilience. My mission is to teach this resilience and to speak up whenever I can, defending all human rights. This generation needs to be inspired. I believe the world lacks inspirational role models, specially when it comes to the social/entertainment industry. This generation needs and deserves to look up to someone who has an incredible credible story! I am ready.
