A North Star for Arab Creatives
Empowering creators and creatives from the Middle East and its diaspora with the insights, tools, and community to turn aspiration into action.
Sanadi is a new platform for Arab creatives, designed to support every stage of the process. Whether you're looking for inspiration, trying to build a consistent routine, developing technical skills, or figuring out how to share your work with the world, Sanadi meets you where you are.
Grounded in culturally relevant perspectives and the lived experiences of other Arabs working across creative fields, Sanadi brings together practical learning, real stories, and communal insights in one place. No one can teach creativity, but community can nurture it.
Designed as a companion rather than a course you complete, Sanadi is a resource that demystifies the creative process and gives you a place to return to whenever you need to get started, get unstuck, or find your next step. Learn at your own pace and come back whenever you need to. Your certificate is what you create.

WritingHas anyone else struggled with getting their characters to feel more developed and real? I feel like I had such a clear sense of who this character was supposed to be but now that I’m writing, the character feels like a placeholder without any real backstory or lived experience

I had the same issue with a short story I was working on a while ago. For me, the solution was to let the character tell me who they were, I stopped going into the writing process with a defined sense of who the character was supposed to be and instead let them surprise me if that makes any sense. It takes a lot of patience, and its scary, but I found so helpful to not force the character to be a certain way just because I went into the project with an idea in my head.
