About Annafi
Annafi is designing new media solutions that address rising tensions and animosity in modern media.
In 2016, Annafi Wahed left her corporate job in NYC to campaign for Democratic party candidates in NH. Walking door to door, she saw firsthand how even next-door neighbors could be completely isolated from one another by the news they consume. In the months following the election, as talk of “fake news” and filter bubbles became commonplace, Annafi set out to create a shared news source in a world of a billion news feeds. Her passion is in restoring an ability to engage in healthy dialogue over differing viewpoints around complex, pointed political and social issues.
