About Lubna
I have 12+ years of journalism and TV production experience across the US and Middle East. My diverse experience ranges from working as a fixer and producer in conflict zones to producing a half-hour monthly feature program for CNBC about investment opportunities and business trends in the Middle East (just me and one cameraman/editor!). I'm equally adept at conceiving and planning a story idea, writing a script, managing a crew, and overseeing the edit and assembly. Doing news for more than a decade has made me versatile and calm under pressure, and I pride myself on getting things done. I'm currently back in my hometown of San Francisco, an exciting place to cover subjects such as tech innovation, alternative culture, wellness trends, and an international arts, food and lifestyle scene. I am also well-versed in international and local politics. 

I'm a clear communicator, well-versed and updated on all relevant news, reliable, and fast.

I love to create and I'm excited to work with you!

Syria field post: 'I had to do procedures I'd never seen. YouTube helped a lot'

21 Apr 2016  |  www.theguardian.com
The article is a personal account of a doctor who is the director of a hospital in an opposition-controlled area of East Damascus, Syria. The doctor narrates the challenges faced during the Syrian revolution, including the need to perform surgeries across various specialties with limited resources and training, often learning through YouTube and advice from overseas friends. The hospital, supported by Medicins Sans Frontieres, serves 200,000 people but struggles with medical supply shortages. The doctor also discusses the impact of the conflict on education, with the attached school being rebuilt after an airstrike. Despite the hardships and the option to work abroad, the doctor remains committed to serving the underprivileged community, emphasizing the importance of educating the next generation.

Yoga in Palestine: the search for inner peace amid ongoing conflict

27 Aug 2015  |  www.theguardian.com
The article discusses the introduction and growing popularity of yoga in Palestine's West Bank, highlighting the challenges and successes of integrating this practice into Palestinian society. Farashe, a community yoga center in Ramallah, and Anahata International, a Washington DC-based nonprofit, have played significant roles in training local yoga teachers. Despite initial misconceptions linking yoga to foreign religions, many Palestinians have embraced it for stress relief and as a complement to their Muslim faith. The practice has spread to various community centers, health clinics, and private studios, offering residents tools to manage their wellbeing under the stresses of Israeli occupation. The article also touches on the future goals of making yoga more accessible in Arabic and the importance of self-care amidst political difficulties.
