About
My name is Shabana Sharif
"I write for those who are unseen on the page—and build spaces where they can be heard."
My work explores trauma, identity, and resilience through memoir, performance, and community art.
I'm the founder of Thrive Art Exhibit, a platform dedicated to amplifying the voices of Indo-Caribbean artists and storytellers. Thrive NYC, showcased in May artwork and stories of 20 artists. Thrive Toronto will follow in Fall 2025, continuing the mission of creative visibility and cultural healing.
