Who am I

I am here to help you amplify your social impact through powerful communication.

Hello, I’m Myriam, a storyteller, facilitator, activist and community builder.

I have built my career and my expertise as an advocate for social justice, inclusive communication, and equitable practices. I am driven by helping organisations and individuals build strong connections, foster understanding, and create positive change through meaningful dialogue, powerful narratives and co-created strategies.

For the past 5 years, I have been working in the non-profit sector, mainly as a professional communicator, campaigner and training facilitator.

I have had the chance to work on communication, storytelling, intersectionality and inclusion with the European Commission, Garance ASBL, YouAct (European Youth Network on SRHR), La Cimade and the End FGM European Network.

Working with diverse communities, organisations and institutions, I am continually inspired by the power of purposeful collaboration, understanding and empathy in driving positive social impact.

Why should we care about communicating better?

Communication, whether it is public campaigns or interpersonal dialogue, is at the root of social change: for our realities to be different, we need to do a better job connecting with others, convincing people to support our vision, and provoking a cultural shift.

In my work on gender-based violence and antiracism, I have seen too many times the consequences of inaccurate narratives in holding us back, widening divides and cutting us off from solidarity and compassion. Misused communication, at all levels, is what allows those unhelpful narratives to persist and communication is also what will allow us to challenge them.

My bi-cultural background, with roots in Morocco and France, informs my commitment to nurturing an anti-racist, decolonial, and stigma-free approach to social justice, campaigning and advocacy. I believe in social justice work that hears, values and embraces every voice shaping a more equitable and inclusive society for all. Communicating and connecting better with each other is what will take us there!

The impact of an empathetic approach

I take an empathetic and compassionate approach to my work, emphasizing connection over correction.

I believe that most of us have good intentions even if we are sometimes misled in our strategies. I believe that people can lack information, can make mistakes, and unintentionally cause harm and still be worthy of being heard and talked to with compassion. No one is disposable. Embracing this fact, I approach my training, workshops and consultancies with an empathetic lens, trying to co-create a space where we can exchange ideas and engage without feeling judged or judging others.

If you work with me, part of our work will be providing everyone involved with the tools to foster understanding and move through disagreements without turning to unproductive conflict.
