Sharifa may be on the younger side, but she has been an incredibly influential voice in the emerging body of Trans and GNC theatre artists. Her first full-length play is being published in the forthcoming Methuen Drama Book of Trans Plays (the first anthology of its kind), and as a professional director, she was appointed to the Drama League's first Director's Council, where she is positioned at the same level as famous and influential US directors like Melia Bensussen, Daniel Banks, Brian Herrera, and Lisa Portes. She's also one of the most visible trans Muslim artist/activists and MENA-American Theatre Artists. Therefore, I contend that Sharifa is both "regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors" and is "known for originating a significant new concept, theory, or technique," in advocating for representation of a significantly minoritarian and intersectional identity within theatre spaces.Rmirsajadi (talk) 20:21, 28 March 2021 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete for now, as WP:TOOSOON and because there does not appear to be WP:BASIC coverage in multiple independent and reliable sources to support her WP:CREATIVE notability. Beccaynr (talk) 21:48, 28 March 2021 (UTC)
