This week’s revolutionary is Nasreen Alkhateeb, a filmmaker, activist, and feminist. She was born in the United States but raised for the first 7 years of her life in Saudi Arabia. After her family moved back to the United States, Nasreen started to realize that she was different from those around her and that she would have to go above and beyond to break social barriers and form friends. This played a major role in how Nasreen learned to tell stories and design her own reality.

Now, Nasreen is a storyteller. She translates messaging and storytelling into visuals for people to immerse themselves into. She helps clients create short-form narrative, usually in video form and content that lives online. With this, Nasreen uses her skills to give voice to the marginalized. She helps others go above and beyond to break barriers, tell their stories, and participate in feminist movements.
