🌿 Salma Banouri Liong

I build educational tools that honour:

• Cognitive sovereignty
   
• Learner agency
   
• Intellectual clarity
   
• Cultural nuance
   

My work responds to friction in education — not trends. I don’t clone. I don’t optimise for engagement metrics. I design for epistemic dignity.

I begin from the inside out — grounding every system in pedagogy, symbolic thinking, and the lived realities of educators.

• Former lecturer in literature, translation, and digital pedagogy
   
• Practitioner of postcolonial and narrative theory
   
• Builder of recursive writing engines, AI literacy courses, and symbolic feedback tools
   
• Fluent in English, Arabic, French, and nuance

Under the Yalla umbrella, I’m developing:

• Yalla Teacher Hub – bilingual AI readiness for educators
   
• Yalla English – community-led ESL platforms
   
• Symbolic Revision Engine – AI-powered writing feedback rooted in meaning, not metrics
   

My mission: give educators tools that don’t extract value — but expand it.
