Her first book, Rise Up and Salute the Sun, amassed a cult following shortly after its release in the US market (2011) and Egypt (2010). The book was described by Publisher’s Weekly as "a mix between Khalil Gibran's The Prophet and Paulo Coelho's The Alchemist."
In addition to her writing, Kassem has worked as a music video and commercial director in Hollywood for over nine years. Her first film, Harmony Parker, a 40-minute short introducing Madison Davenport, tells the story of a little girl who is given an old music box for her seventh birthday and quickly discovers how the vibrational power of music can transform situations of conflict into peace.
