Sarosh Arif

I am a Muslim, Pakistani-American writer (We Are the United States, 2022), an award-winning teacher, a diversity consultant & editor , & a Columbia University-educated entrepreneur. I split time between NYC, LA, and Istanbul writing, teaching, & designing award-winning education programming like Journalism 4 Juniors(J4J) for Syrian refugees. Having worked with the UN, Teach for America, & leading publishing companies around the world like the Big 5 publishers, Disney, Marvel, and Amazon Publishing, I use my experiences to advocate for Muslim voices and authentic representation. In 2022, I received the Walter Grant for Muslim writers from We Need Diverse Books.
