A selection of projects, campaigns, and collaborations where storytelling has driven real social impact — from Western Sydney to KPMG boardrooms.
Each project represents a real organisation, a real challenge, and a real story told with more confidence, safety, and impact. We work across sectors — from youth programs and non-profits to corporate EDI and media — always grounded in the COMPASSionate Storytelling model.
In partnership with the Institute for Economics & Peace and Shayna Humanitarian, Samah designed and delivered ethical storytelling, project design, cultural safety training, and mentorship for 25 young people from Western Sydney from displacement-affected backgrounds. Funded by Multicultural NSW COMPACT grant.
Co-hosted with Shapeshifters design consultancy at KPMG Sydney, bringing together 30+ corporate professionals to explore decolonising refugee narratives, cultural safety, and ethical brand storytelling. Samah led the main talk and facilitated an interactive workshop.
Samah led a research and discovery consultancy for Story Factory — a non-profit supporting young writers under 17 — to assess cultural safety and inclusion across their team. She delivered surveys, visual mapping workshops, and a comprehensive report with actionable recommendations.
Samah co-designed and delivered two trainings for RCOA's national refugee ambassador program — personal branding and advocacy storytelling, plus a full-day speaker training covering the Compassionate Storytelling model for nearly 25 participants from refugee backgrounds.
Since 2024, Samah has worked as guest editor on Rally Magazine's Migration Issue — delivering staff workshops on ethical storytelling and cultural safety, supporting all editorial engagements, and co-drafting ethical commissioning and cultural safety policy documents.
The multimedia website for the Migration Issue is launching soon. A landmark collaboration between editorial storytelling and community-driven refugee narratives. Watch this space.
