About Cynthia Nahhas

I\'m a communications strategist and storyteller who turns complex ideas into narratives people remember, share, and care about. I lead campaigns that spark conversation, engage communities, and connect institutions to culture.As Communications Manager at the Mayors Migration Council, I design and execute multi-channel campaigns, manage end-to-end email programs, produce media assets from blogs to press releases, secure coverage in top-tier outlets, and oversee digital content that serves global audiences. Previously, I’ve worked with the Statue of Liberty–Ellis Island Foundation, the American Film Institute, and Kooyrigs NGO & Inc, creating content that drives engagement, amplifies stories, and builds cultural resonance.Outside of work, I run a small cultural collective in NYC, producing community-centered creative events. I hold an MA in Media, Culture, and Communication from NYU and a BA in Media and Communications from the American University of Beirut, with a focus on visual culture and identity.
