From 2009 to 2011 she was Associate Director of Theatre503.

Incoming Young Vic Artistic Director Kwame Kwei-Armah said: “The boldness and depth of Nadia’s writing and directing made her a natural fit as the new Young Vic Genesis Fellow. She’s an outspoken champion of diversity both on and off the stage and I’m excited to work alongside her to nurture our network of artists across the U.K.”
Nadia Latif said: “I’m thrilled to be joining the Young Vic at such an exciting time. I’m really looking forward to helping to continue the theatre’s tradition of telling a wide range of stories by different artists to an engaged and diverse audience.”
