Meet The Team
The People Behind the Svbaltern Magazine
Rahma Naveed
Chief Editor and Photographer
Rahma is studying in the Faculty of Arts and tackling controversial topics head on and braving the judgemental stares of brown aunties. If you want to get into her circle of friends, you have to be woke and have strong opinions about why "vanilla" isn't really an ice cream flavour.
Nour Youssef
Editor
Nour is an open environmentalist and student in Cognitive Sciences. She is a staunch vegan and vocal feminist who is actively converting her ummah to halal veganism (get on it everyone!!).
Rehmatullah Sheikh
Digital Media Expert
Rehmatullah is what you would get if you mixed British wit and Desi charm, and is a graduate student in UBC's journalism program. He's known for his intellectual clapbacks and dreams to work for Al Jazeera one day.
Ayse Kabaca
Graphic Designer
Ayse is a quiet philosopher, architect of social movements, and is a student in the Arts faculty. She enjoys watching worms and crows in their natural habitats.
Usama Abbasi
Strategist
Usama is a teddy bear, big brother and PhD student in the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine. When he's not playing basketball, or travelling the world for research, he's hugging and nurturing the ummah.
