Mazen Alsaqqaf: Youtuber and Yemeni Social Media Influencer

Mazen has just under a quarter of a million subscribers on YOUTUBE. He shares with us his journey from filming on his smart phone, to now working on his weekly show called “Fiuz” at Sadeem Studios. Mazen says sometimes his messaging can be counter culture and an uphill struggle, and his messaging can sometimes come with risks to him and his team. Yet, he has fun, and knows that social media has not only kept him sane throughout the 5 years of war, but can be used to send out lifesaving messaging at a time when Yemenis need it the most!
