Aya Nassif documents the lives of ordinary people whose experiences of war, migration, grief, and resilience reveal what it means to remain human. Her work asks audiences to look at stories that might otherwise be forgotten, and to sit with one question: how do we remain human in the face of tragedy and conflict?
Her current work includes her podcast, For the Dreamers, which gathers first-person stories of immigration, resilience, and hope from the diaspora, and her completed solo play, Cooking with a Small Arab Girl.
Aya is a Lebanese American woman, fluent in English, French, and Arabic, and a recent graduate of James Madison University, where she studied theatre and psychology. She currently works in the Communications division at the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children.
