In 2015, Hamze Ghalebi โ introduced me to SINGA. In 2016 I joined the SINGA Paris’s incubator. In 2018, Alice Barbe recommended me to join the board of SINGA France. Along this early way, I was fortunate to have also the support of Guillaume CAPELLE, Nathanael Molle, David Robert, Olivier Lebel, and Luisa Seiler. I never could have imagined that this would change my life!
SINGA has accomplished so much, but let me to share what I’m most proud of – the projects I had the chance to initiate:
๐ Getting refugees into the La French Tech Tremplin program, the first funding opportunity for refugee entrepreneurs in Europe. (thanks Cรฉdric O & Kat Borlongan)
๐ Cocreating and consolidating SINGA Global with its new shared governance
๐Initiating our Next10 Strategy roadmap
๐Initiating the autonomization of J’accueille under David Robert and Vincent Berne‘s leadership
๐Autonomization of SINGA Paris, SINGA Strasbourg, and total autonomie of SINGA LYON among other former SINGA France’s chapters.
๐ Active involvement in establishing the Newcomers Fund
๐Integration of SINGA and La Gaite Lyrique into the magnificent โVoix en Exilโ project with the CFI, agence franรงaise de dรฉveloppement mรฉdias.

๐ค๐ฝ Having recruited and closely worked with a new generation of exceptional leaders: Benoit Hamon, Fatemeh Jailani, Maรซlle Mezaber, Myriam Nouicer, Hanieh Hadizadeh, Jessica Mautref, Emmanuelle Bourge, and others who moved on to other adventures like Lรฉa Balage El Mariky (now a French MP!) Louise Block, Farhad Ataee and also having convinced wonderful friends and SINGA members like Camila Rรญos Armas, Jacques BEHAR, Iyad Kallas , Rana HAMRA and Duc HA to join SINGA’s leadership.
๐๐ฝ I would like to express my gratitude to all my other colleagues on the 4 boards over the past 7 wonderful years: Donia Souad Amamra, Fatoumata Ly, thanh huong nghiem, @Leila Slimani, Jana NevrlkaMohammed Chikh Albasatneh, AMER ALQADI, Sylvain Marguerin, Marielle Demilie, Iyad Kallas.
The newly elected board is going to do wonders!
โ “๐๐ก๐๐ซ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ญ๐ฎ๐ซ๐๐ฌ, ๐ฌ๐ก๐๐ฉ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ญ๐ฎ๐ซ๐๐ฌ” : I am very proud of this new brand identity and slogan we created this year for the future of SINGA.
My commitment continues as a volunteer and advisor. SINGA is a meta-community. A family! ๐
Thereafter, my social impact activites remains focused on Welcome Account. I am also continuing with my writing projects.
