About
I am a polyglot, data-driven, AI-native growth marketer, content creator, designer, and software builder and a mentor. Currently, I lead the Dept. of Content and Partnerships at Nasiye, Somalia's largest streaming platform. Previously, I held the digital media office, where I led very talented female-majority teams of content creators, editors, designers, and social media specialists across the company’s largest office, while also setting strategies and campaigns, and fostering a collaborative, inclusive culture where creativity flourishes. I also provide exec assistance to entrepreneurs, executives, and founders helping them with their personal brands, providing strategies, designs, short videos, and blogs to help them build a strong online presence and stay productive. Finally, on weekends I publish Halumish, the only newsletter about Somali tech and education, covering the latest news and trends. Biweekly.
