About

Sana’a Jaber is a Lebanese writer, mother, filmmaker, and refugee based in Toronto. She weaves stories of exile, resilience, motherhood, and belonging, drawing from a life lived across cultures and borders.

Her short story won the prestigious Carol Shields Prize in Canada, and her work spans fiction, memoir, and storytelling for social change. Before settling in Toronto, Sana’a spent over two decades working in film and television as a writer, art director, and sound recordist.

Through her writing, she gives voice to those often unheard—refugees, women, dreamers building new homes in unfamiliar lands.

Sana’a is currently completing her first book and is available for writing commissions, storytelling collaborations, and speaking engagements.
