Hannah's top 5 CliftonStrengths are: Belief, Connectedness, Futuristic, Developer & Self Assurance
Hannah Sink Hamza’s creative identity has taken many forms over the years, but her mission remains the same: to live a bigger, braver, bolder story so that she can leave a Godly legacy that inspires the next generation to run their race well.
Hannah grew up in the South, where porches are sacred, and churches are at the heart of every community. Her love for Jesus and the desire to live a life “on mission” was shaped by her parents’ faith and personal commitments to invest in their four children's lives as well as their community by serving as pastors of a multi-cultural, non-denominational church.
Hannah holds the prestigious titles of Mom, Wife, Bible study leader, friend, and tea aficionado. In a professional capacity, she’s highly regarded as an award-winning filmmaker, published author, creative director and creativity coach. Hannah’s faith and creativity are the through-line of her life and career, putting her at the intersection of storytelling, leadership, missions, motherhood, mentorship, and refugee advocacy.
Having traveled the world with a camera in hand, she’s filmed award-winning documentaries, served in a refugee camp in Greece, and competed on FOX’s reality show, “On the Lot: Searching for America's Next Big Film Director.” She also adapted the novel Kaffir Boy as a screenplay, worked as a creative director for several Fortune 500 brands, and created mentorship programs and curriculum for female creative leaders.
