Where I
I work at the intersection of innovation, creativity, and social impact. From Somalia, where I founded SOYAT Hub to empower youth and entrepreneurs, to Cork, Ireland, where I lead Resilience Society, running community programs that promote mental health, resilience, and personal growth, my work spans borders and communities.
Through Laith Creative, I collaborate with brands and organizations globally, producing digital content, storytelling, and strategic communication that inspire action and engagement. Whether in innovation hubs, community events, or creative studios, I create spaces where people, ideas, and opportunities come together.
