Phoebe Turner Azmi is a writer, theatre maker, and community arts practitioner based in Nashville, Tennessee. She works as the Community Impact & Equity Coordinator at Mind the Gap, a youth mental health nonprofit in Charlotte, North Carolina, where she develops curricula, mentors emerging advocates, strengthens community partnerships, and helps build networks of care.

Phoebe graduated with Highest Honors from Smith College, where she studied Theatre and Community Engagement and Social Change. Her education centered compassion, social justice, creative practice, and the possibilities of community transformation. Raised across France, the Netherlands, and the United States, she developed an early commitment to global citizenship and to listening across cultures. Her conversion to Islam deepened her relationship to faith, generosity, peace, and the global community.

Across poetry, theatre, photography, performance, and song, Phoebe creates work about belonging, spiritual inquiry, grief and joy, mental health, the living Earth, and the relationships that keep us rooted in life. Her own experiences as a highly sensitive person have shaped her desire to offer others hope and accompaniment. She hopes to become a therapist while continuing to grow a creative practice devoted to wonder, upliftment, and social justice.

She lives in Nashville with her husband, Atheek Muhammed Azmi, and remains closely connected to family and community in North Carolina and Sri Lanka.
