BIOGRAPHY
“What would your life be like if you gave yourself permission to be everything you wanted to be?”
— Emilie Wapnick
Sally Alrawi is a passionate, multidisciplinary artist and creative visionary whose work is deeply shaped by her personal journey and rich cultural heritage. Born and raised in Baghdad, Iraq, Sally came to the United States as a refugee with her family in 2010. Now 23 years old and the eldest of five siblings, she brings resilience, empathy, and a profound sense of identity to everything she creates.
Currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Psychology, Sally is also fearlessly reclaiming and nurturing her lifelong love for the arts. Growing up, she felt the pressure to follow a traditional path dictated by societal expectations—go to school, earn a degree, and settle into an "ordinary" life that often left little room for creativity. Despite these pressures, her artistic spirit never faded. As she grew older, she found herself naturally gravitating back toward art and embracing her true passions with renewed energy and commitment.
Sally identifies proudly as a multipotentialite—a term that describes someone with strong intellectual or artistic curiosity and the ability to excel in multiple fields. She explores this creative abundance through modeling, acting, painting, playing piano, writing, photography, and pottery. By unapologetically immersing herself in these forms of expression, Sally honors both her history and her dreams, using art as a way to heal, communicate, and celebrate the full complexity of who she is.
