A journey of courage, rediscovery, and purpose.

A defining decision

The life I walked away from

Before arthritis changed my path, I built a career I was deeply proud of. I thrived as a Senior HR Professional, supporting people, guiding teams, and creating empowerment in workplaces. HR wasn’t just my job. It was where I felt purpose, connection, and impact.

As my condition became harder to manage, I faced one of the most defining decisions of my life: stepping away from the career I loved.

Many people saw it as a resignation. For me, it was an act of courage.

A voice I thought I had lost

RA Positive

In the middle of this transition, I created a website called RA Positive, a small corner of the internet where I spoke from my heart. It became a home for my thoughts, fears, strength, and honesty about living with rheumatoid arthritis.

The domain eventually expired, taking years of my voice and the connection I had built with it. Losing RA Positive felt like losing a part of myself I could never get back.

Where purpose found its name

From lived experience to advocacy

For more than 15 years, I have volunteered with the Middle East Arthritis Foundation, supporting patients, organising events, guiding families, and showing up for people who needed someone who understood.

I became an advocate not out of obligation, but out of connection. Every story shared, every patient I met, and every hand I held reminded me of something important.

We are stronger together than we ever are alone.
