An internationally recognised hip-hop dancer, choreographer, and teacher, Amirah Sackett explores and embodies her Muslim American identity by combining hip-hop movement and Islamic themes.
She is widely known for creating the choreography and performance group known as, “We’re Muslim, Don’t Panic”, which reached viral video fame after being featured on POPSUGAR Celebrity, The Huffington Post, AJ+, and Upworthy.
Sackett was honoured to be a TEDx speaker, guest lecturer at Harvard University, and a cultural diplomat with the U.S. State Department in Bangladesh, Malaysia, and Kuwait.
Based in Chicago, Amirah continues to teach the next generation and encourage future artists to use hip-hop culture as a way to uplift, inspire, and bring change to those communities that need it the most.
