Guest Bio
Reem was born in Florida, where she currently lives with her husband and two children. She is a Palestinian in diaspora and the daughter of Palestinian refugees born in Gaza. Since 2018, Reem has been consistently collaborating with community lead initiatives throughout the Gaza strip to provide necessities, such as, food, clothing, and shelter to over 1,000 people. As Reem worked closely with those living in the world’s largest open-air prison, she felt an urgency to do more. Reem listened, researched, and prayed on how to resist the overwhelming injustice and oppression that plagues the world. Reem founded Healing our Homeland during her own journey of healing and with the intention to fulfill her ethical duty as a Muslim.
Reem graduated from the University of Central Florida (UCF) with a B.A. in Interpersonal and Organizational Communication. She graduated with her Judicial Doctorate degree from Barry University. She is dedicated to public service on both a local and global level. Among her experience, she served as an Assistant State Attorney in Orlando with a focus on prosecuting sex crimes, domestic violence, and crimes against children. In 2017 she joined the Office of Institutional Equity at UCF as a Title IX Investigator. Reem has been using a trauma informed approach in her practice for the past 10 years. These days, Reem spends her time in nature, nurturing her children, writing her memoir, and investing in Healing our Homeland.
