About Me
I was born in Bern, Switzerland to father Boaz aka ‘Bosar’, a Jazz musician of Yemeni-Israeli descent and Swiss mother Verena, a humanitarian. I grew up both in Israel and Switzerland and came to the United States 18 years ago, with a big dream and a suitcase filled with over 200 R&B CDs.
As a child growing up, my parents placed a strong emphasis on the creative arts, a focus that has only evolved and transmuted over the years. There was always some form of creating going on, theatre, music, art, dance and writing. At age 16 I took a leap and wrote and directed my first play.
Storytelling is more than entertainment. It's a conduit to challenge our perception of the world around us. As creators we have a responsibility to elevate and and expand the consciousness of humanity by igniting empathy and compassion. I am committed to that.
UPDATE:
-
I am currently developing a 6-episode limited series based on true events. A story about my great grandmother, widowed at the young age of 22, forced to save her seven children from persecution in 1930’s Yemen.

I've been diligently studying ASL and about Deaf Culture and am committed to being a bridge and an ally to the Deaf community in our industry. More to come.
