Who Is Latif?
Her name alone certainly draws a lot of attention, and for more than one reason. Latif is an extremely popular Arabic name. In the majority of cases, the name Latif, which means “gentle” and “kind,” is reserved for baby boys. In this case, the name Latif belongs to a gentle and kind grown woman. Between her name, her friendly demeanor, and her baby face, Latif has a way of leaving new acquaintances with stories to tell—and a hard time forgetting her.
As a well-rounded American child growing up in the United States, Latif was exposed to lots of people from different cultures at a very young age. As a young girl, she didn’t quite get the weird “obsession” with her name, especially since she is used to associating with, hanging out with, and getting to know people from so many different backgrounds. Some of these influences can show up in the cuisine she likes to eat, her music choices, the languages she speaks, and even some of the clothes she chooses to wear. She has grown to become accustomed to conversations about her name and the questions about her inspirations that surround her.
Both as a child and as an adult, Latif has always been very curious. In school, she exercised the same level of enthusiasm and vigor in athletics as in her studies. She was very active on the soccer team, the softball team, and the track team – that’s where the medals really piled up as a sprinter and as a member of the relay team. Math and science were her favorite subjects in school, and she often participated in programs for gifted and talented students. This seems like a preamble to a successful athletic career. Well, all the time she spent running in sports fields might have been a compensation for the hours she now spends hooked on her computer, sifting through content as a tech girlie. Over the years, Latif has built a successful career on technology-driven content creation.
Latif has spent 15 years working as a cutting-edge digital strategist and a communications professional, successfully supporting multi-million dollar projects for both public and private sector agencies. She has worn many hats throughout her storied career. As a content writer, she has spent many late-night sessions grinding to submit articles before the deadline. She has also served as an editor, editor-in-chief, producer, publisher, and a director of web teams.
Apart from here on Stories & Spectrum, you can find Latif on her newly launched blog. At Dream It Write, Latif does the following with her team:
