My name is Khaoula. I am a writer and freelance copywriter.

As a 90's kid, I was looking forward to the post-culturalist era — no frontiers, open dialogue between countries and cultures willingly nurturing one another. Together, we would build the most harmonious form of society possible. We only needed to give in to globalization to make the dream a reality. And we gave in. Profusely. We have overdone it.
Today, that idea of the future remains a fantasy. As we are well into the 21st century, not all narratives are equal in influence or inspiration. Some are dominant. The others are still highly overlooked.

Vision

I believe that all human experiences are fascinating, intricate and a part of our collective legacy on earth. The world, our collaborative living space, would only be better if we more carefully listened to and learned from each other's individual stories.

I believe I can contribute to bringing overlooked narratives to the forefront by helping creatives and artists articulate their vision through strategic storytelling, written communications and copywriting.

I have an insatiable appetite for words, absorbing information and inspiration through a love of books, magazines and songs.

Expertise

I write concepts and strategic narratives, campaigns, marketing and communications copy, social media posts, website copy, press releases and articles — for fashion brands, magazines, and arts & culture projects.

I have an excellent understanding of the fashion industry, artisanal savoir-faire and how an artistic vision develops. Over the past ten years, I have dedicated my penmanship to magnifying creative ideas as a freelance copywriter and content editor for brands worldwide.

Arabic, English and French are ever coexisting in my everyday life as I grew up in Morocco, where all three languages blend.

I launched an arts & culture multi-disciplinary curation programme in 2023 highlighting the work of directors, authors, anthropologists, researchers, visual artists, architects and creatives. I am especially keen on supporting narratives from Morocco, Africa, the Arab countries and around the Mediterranean.
