I’m so, sooo happy to share that I’ve been cast as Soraya in the Broadway national tour of The Kite Runner, adapted for the stage by Matthew Spangler. Khaled Hosseini is an absolute legend in our Afghan-American community; it’s an honor to bring this story to life across the country. Who would have thought I would be playing a beautiful, strong Afghan woman in my first national tour? Not me. So grateful and so excited. Come see us in a city near you April 3-June 30.

😊🙏🏽🇦🇫🪁🌷

𝐋𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐖𝐚𝐫 by Humaira Ghilzai

Across 7,000 miles and a fragile WhatsApp connection, two best friends Nargis and Pari hold onto each other as their hopes, dreams, and secrets unravel. Nargis, newly arrived in America, scrapes by cleaning motel rooms, struggles to keep up with her classes, and holds her family together as her parents falter under the weight of starting over. Life is far from the American dream she had imagined. Pari and her family, still in Kabul, are hiding from the Taliban. She faces a shrinking world where education, financial independence, and travel are no longer possible for her, only survival through a forced marriage. Their long-awaited call stitches together memories of teenage crushes, a Barbie doll tossed into a fire pit in a panic, vision boards and who deserves to dream. Longest War is a one-act, short play.

This Ramadan I’m joining @aseelapp on their mission to feed 100,000 people across Kabul and Afghanistan! Most families won’t be able to afford a proper Iftar meal to break their fasts with, only $3 can provide a full Iftar meal and only $73 can provide an entire raw materials food package. My goal is to feed 500 people this Ramadan by raising $1500. The campaign link is live now, go to go.aseelapp.com/Awesta to start giving! Even just $3 will go such a long way to provide a small comfort during this difficult time. Link in bio! Ramadan Mubarak! ❤️
