Early life Maha Jaafar (born 1994) is a Sudanese–Iraqi dentist, social media influencer, comedian, and disability rights advocate. Based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, she is best known for her comedic YouTube videos that celebrate cultural diversity, along with her roles as a UNICEF National Ambassador and a YouTube Creators for Change ambassador.

Biography and career An article in The National online newspaper in the United Arab Emirates reports that Jaafar grew up in Sharjah and Dubai. She graduated in dentistry from Ajman University and, still a student, started to produce videos on YouTube to "have fun with her friends". According to a video by the BBC's video series Trending, her first video on social media in 2016 was a comical sketch imitating different Arabic dialects and stereotypes that has achieved more than 1.7 million views.

Because of the success with her videos, Jaafar was invited in 2018 to the Creators of Change Summit in London, UK, where she interviewed the Pakistani activist for female education and youngest Nobel Prize laureate Malala Yousafzai.

The [Creators for Change] programme is really about fighting hate speech, extremism and xenophobia. It’s to promote love, tolerance and understanding. I imitate accents and I do different characters but – at the same time as making people laugh – I do it to connect different cultures together to show the similarities that we have.
