Hafsa Fathima is a writer and multimedia journalist. She enjoys producing stories on culture, religion, immigration and popular culture for different multimedia platforms. Her work has been featured by The Hindu, The San Diego Union Tribune, The Los Angeles Times and KCRW.

Raised between Canada and India, Fathima’s multicultural perspective informs her work immensely. She is most interested on documenting stories on the periphery and of issues untold. When she’s not writing, she enjoys trivia nights, debating how Game of Thrones will end and cheering on the Toronto Maple Leafs.

She holds a Bachelor's and Master's in English Literature from Stella Maris College, India and a Certification in Professional Writing from San Diego State University. She recently graduated from the USC Annenberg School of Journalism and Communication with a Masters of Science in Journalism.

Whether it's a viral tweet, a new dance on TikTok or a video on Facebook, social media has rapidly become a way journalists can communicate with their audiences. I've learned to take advantage of this, developing multimedia content for several of the organizations I've worked with.
