About Me —
Why I Care.
What Makes Us Special
My name is Claire Hourani. I’m an Arab-American with Lebanese and Syrian descent, and I’ve grown up navigating a world full of contradiction, especially when it comes to health. My mother is a pharmacist, yet she always urged us not to take medicine unless absolutely necessary. That paradox taught me something important: just because something is available doesn’t mean it’s always right for us.
As a national-level competitive dancer trained in eight styles, I’ve spent my life deeply connected to my body. I’ve learned how easily the wrong advice, (whether it’s from a label, a post, or a trusted voice) can affect how we eat, recover, move, and think. I’ve also seen how fast misinformation spreads, especially in wellness spaces where marketing is often louder than science.
This isn’t about rejecting modern medicine or shaming social media. It’s about asking better questions. I want to explore how marketing, media, and power shape what we believe: about health, about truth, about each other.
This space is where I start that conversation.
