Sarah Rahman is a visionary media entrepreneur and the driving force behind “Rise Up Media,” an organization committed to amplifying the stories of underrepresented female creators. Over the past decade, Sarah has noticed a significant gap in the media landscape, where young women’s voices—particularly from minority communities—are frequently sidelined. Determined to change this narrative, she launched her agency to provide professional training, creative space, and financial resources to aspiring writers, journalists, and filmmakers.
Through her rigorous mentorship programs, Sarah has successfully guided more than 500 young girls into sustainable careers in digital journalism and tech leadership. She believes that storytelling is the ultimate tool for social engineering and community empowerment. When she isn’t running workshops or pitching media campaigns, Sarah collaborates with global universities to research the socioeconomic impacts of gender-diverse newsrooms. Her mission is simple yet profound: to create a world where every woman has the tools and the platform to write her own history.
