Global Shapers - Brooklyn Hub

The Global Shapers Community is an initiative of the World Economic Forum. The ecosystem of extraordinary young people under 30 was launched in 2011 in response to the absence of young peoples' voices in global decision-making. Shapers are exceptional in their potential, their achievements, and their drive to contribute to their communities through projects. Shapers run non-profits, work in healthcare, tackle climate change, are creatives, and much more.

Naima is currently serving as the Vice-Curator of the Brooklyn Hub, has previously served as the Impact Officer (‘25-’26), and has been a Shaper since 2023.

As Vice Curator of the Global Shapers Community NYC – Brooklyn Hub, a World Economic Forum youth initiative, Naima leads efforts to strengthen the hub’s infrastructure, community impact, and long-term sustainability. She spearheaded the development of a free, easily transferable hub website designed to withstand leadership transitions and preserve institutional knowledge for future leadership teams. Beyond strengthening internal systems, Naima leads and supports community-driven programming across mental health, climate action, and youth engagement, including So Fresh So Clean, an initiative bringing accessible mental health resources into trusted community spaces. She has also helped strengthen member engagement, recruitment, strategic partnerships, and impact measurement, with a focus on building programs and systems that future Shapers can continue, adapt, and scale.
