If you would like to read any of Samah's writing or get access to her famous chai recipe, shoot her an email to samah@pyarproductions.com, or access her works on The Black List. Seriously, it's a really good chai recipe.

In Samah's free time, she loves thrifting vintage pants, taking photos of her cats on film, and cooking for her loved ones.
