  • The Exchange

    Co-creator & Writer

    The Exchange is a hit Netflix series about two women who blaze a trail into the Kuwait stock exchange in the 1980s.

    Season 1 was Netflix’s most-watched Arabic series in 2023. Upon release, the show went #1 in 5 countries and made the Top 10 in 30 more, including France, Romania, Greece, Poland, Malta, and Gabon. Season 2 was released on February 13, 2025, and went #1 across the Arabian Gulf its first week.

    Positive reviews and recommendations from The New York Times, Le Monde, and The Guardian (among others) gave the series a tremendous international boost. And stunning coverage in Elle Arabia and Vogue Arabia gave us some love on our home turf.

    Most importantly, the conversation on social media was lively, overwhelmingly positive, and extensive. Within 24 hours, one guy on Twitter called it an ‘Arab feminist masterpiece.’ Within 48 hours, another guy called it ‘Overrated.’ Thrilling! Moreover, The Exchange has been the subject of a jaw-dropping number of memes, supercuts, and fanart.

    Already a big fan of the series (and its predecessor, I Want to Get Married), I almost fainted when Netflix asked me to consult on Season 2 of their smash hit.

    Season 2 premiered in October 2024. It racked up 800k views in its first week and joined the Global Top 10 for Non-English series.

I TELL STORIES THAT STAND OUT -

I believe stories should challenge and enrich, so my projects often take place in unique worlds with unexpected characters. But I also believe stories should entertain, so there’s a dash of comedy, movement, and spectacle in everything I do.

- AND MAKE AN IMPACT.

The stories we consume shape our worldviews and influence our beliefs and values. Generations are harmed by how they see themselves represented (or erased) in popular entertainment. So, I’m always interested in projects and creators from historically excluded communities.

I spent my time in the Middle East using collaboration and research to write stories that bridged cultures and continents. As a result, I developed and sold scripts with rigorous cultural sensitivity and nuanced characters. You can read more about my DEI efforts here.
