Hassan’s Space On The Internet

Hi there,

I’m Hassan

👋🏾

I'm a Content Writer who tells stories and builds great things.

I've created a short YouTube series, co-written a documentary, and written and edited tonnes of stories.

I've also built and led creative teams that do the same at scale. I've worked in respected editorial environments like Healthline and at global African startups like Zikoko.

Much of what I do has been called editorial, content marketing, product marketing, or plain old copywriting. But whatever the name, the fundamental remains understanding your audience and crafting excellent stories for them.

I wrote an essay about how my grandfather and I navigated the sudden loss of my aunt and grandmother within a year of each other.

In this interview, my subject - Derin - makes a strong and balanced case for his idea of masculinity. I like this article because of how balanced and introspective his points were.

In this “As Told To” essay, I capture the story of a young woman who stopped her education to care for her terminally ill younger sister.

What’s it like representing your country at a finals for the first time in 25 years? Here, I try to recreate one week in the life of an Olympian who represented his country against all odds.

In this article, I spotlighted the work of scientists who developed race-free equations for diagnosing kidney diseases. I’m proud of this work because it showcases the ability of science to continuously improve our lives.

As someone who’s familiar with loneliness, I made a Twitter thread about my observations on how lonely old people feel. This thread was inspired by conversations with my dad and elderly neighbor.

I co-directed a documentary about gravediggers, which provides a window into the lives of men who make a living from burying the dead.

This article draws a line from the health-seeking behavior of Nigerians to the role community pharmacists play in their health journey. I really like how rigorous this reporting was.

Lastly, here’s an article I wrote for a B2B Saas company.
