Transforming ideas into powerful stories.

Hello!

I’m Safia.

Ever since I was little, I've loved being surrounded by books and magazines. They transported me to different worlds and revealed the magic of stories. This passion for storytelling inspired me to empower others to share the narratives they feel called to tell. I started by writing for mission-driven leaders, which I've done for over a decade, and I've also helped companies tell their stories better.

But I haven’t stopped there! As the co-creator of CRY Creative Productions, I’ve ventured into filmmaking as a writer and producer, diving deeper into storytelling. Making films is another way for me to bring human-centred stories to life and help audiences see their deepest thoughts and experiences reflected back to them onscreen.

I believe that stories can change the world. They open our minds and bring us together. I'm excited to keep sharing stories in every way I can, hoping they might inspire and connect more people.

Work with me.

Communications Advisor

I’m the co-founder of C3 Effect, a communications agency that partners with leaders and founders to elevate their influence and drive impactful engagement within their teams.

Ghostwriter

Clients trust me to refine their message and elevate the impact of their work across various mediums. Whether it's writing books, articles, speeches, or scripts, I specialize in shaping ideas into narratives that resonate deeply with audiences.

My portfolio includes credits from notable platforms such as Forbes, Entrepreneur.com, British Vogue, Blavity, Essence Magazine, Global Citizen, Forbes Women’s Summit, and beyond.

As a filmmaker and co-founder of CRY Creative Productions, I am devoted to crafting stories that illuminate both the beauty and challenges of everyday life. Our latest release, Wallflower, now streaming on Fuse TV and Prime Video, embodies our commitment to storytelling with purpose.
