This is Nur M’nasria's talk at CreativeMornings in Dubai in September 2021 on the theme DARE!
Nur M’nasria, an accomplished TV and film producer who started her journey in community service while in her mid-teens. Motivated by her own urban-nomad life of her youth, Nur has been captivated by people with vulnerabilities, specifically impoverished children.
Her interest led her to consolidate her community work under Flea 4 Charity, which she co-founded in 2011. Today hundreds of children are being looked after and playgrounds have been established by the team of Play For Smiles since 2015 under Nur's leadership. In December 2016 she won ITP’s Young Arab Awards as the philanthropist of the year.
In parallel to the humanitarian efforts, she has continued her production work since 2008. She has worked as a producer for six seasons of the popular Arabic TV show Khawatir. Nur was also the production manager of an award-winning film “Jareedy”, the first film to be narrated in the Nubian language.
Nur strongly believes in the existence of the strength every individual has to be able to accomplish his or her dreams. Her mission in life is to spread and be the source of light, blessings and love.
