I’m a big kid at heart and love telling, sharing, and performing stories to children, and young people. I make sure to include: singing, dancing, comedy, funny voices and bring along a good sense of humour! I will never allow my inner child to go away!
I fluently speak Arabic and English. Growing up, I was able to speak other languages but didn’t keep up with them as I got older. Now, I am relearning those languages again. I am currently learning Russian, Spanish and Italian.
In my spare time, I like to share my tea and coffee experience here on Instagram Beau Café. I enjoy running, listening to music, writing, and hanging out with family and friends. I also upload educational content on my YouTube channel Beaux Petits Enfants.
Let’s connect 😊
