Mawahib Ismail is famously known for never shutting up and in the words of her mother, “Talking like someone is stealing the words out of her mouth.” She is also a writer, filmmaker, actor, an avid fan, and a participant in the religious practice that is the 1995 American classic, A Goofy Movie. A mentor and now friend once told her, "What are you trying to deeply understand?" That's the ethos of her storytelling.
