About Speak Connection
We’re all born fluent in the language of connection.
Some of us grow up immersed in it, like a child learning their mother tongue simply by being surrounded by attuned relationships. These early environments help us speak the “language” of belonging with ease…we don’t learn it by rules; we live it by feel.
Speak Connection believes connection — like language — can be relearned.
That’s okay… that’s human.
Because connection isn’t about sounding perfect.
It’s about finding your voice again, even if it trembles.
It’s about expressing yourself, even if you’ve forgotten how.
It’s about rediscovering how to belong…in your own way.

Hi, I’m Shima, and I specialize in social connection. My work aims to bridge the space between emotional isolation and authentic belonging.
With intensive research on chronic loneliness and the science of connection, as well as my own lived experience of disconnection, I’ve spent years walking beside people from all walks of life, as they navigate transitions, emotional fatigue, cultural displacement, and the quiet pain of feeling alone in a connected world.
I’ve also worked with community organizations, and educational institutions to design and deliver trainings and awareness programs that foster psychological safety and inclusive environments.
My approach is collaborative and practical. Through bilingual (English/Arabic), trauma-informed, and culturally sensitive support, I create a space that is structured yet spacious, where small shifts often lead to meaningful transformation in connection, self-trust, and relational confidence.
