A. Zulfol (Mother) Poet Salah Ahmed Ibrahim (Uncle) Writer & Poet ---- About Hiba Rasheed Hiba Rasheed is a UAE-based spoken word poet of Sudanese origin. She began her poetic journey at the age of 11 when the demise of her beloved uncle impelled her to write her first poem.

She hopes to utilize the weaponry of words to bridge the cultural and religious gap between East and West. Hiba has performed at many events such as the international Pecha Kucha event, The Shelter launch party, Adidas/Def Jam Poetry event, Carolina Herrera 212 VIP perfume launch party, 100 Thousand Poets for Change Poetry event and Cultural Market Night; in addition to radio performances on the former “Salam” show on Dubai Eye.

Hiba is currently working on launching her website and aims to record her own album in the future.
