Born in Hat Yai Thailand, Rossanee Nurfarida graduated in media studies and cultural communication from Chulalongkorn University. She embarked on a career as a journalist, but she is happiest when writing poetry, and prefers to call herself a storyteller. Her first poem, "Far Away From our Own Homes", was shortlisted for the 2016 South East Asian Write Award. Her poetry expresses a modern woman’s perspective composed in free verse touching mainly upon how religion can divide the Thai state, its communities, and lovers. This storyteller has also created a video version of one of her poems, "Lost in Homeland". The poem paints a picture of an individual, alone and drifting aimlessly at sea, commenting on southern Thailand’s Muslim minority being an ethnic group stranded in the country of their birth. "Lost in Homeland" was a 2017 official selection at the Juteback Poetry Film Festival, the Bangkok Underground Film Festival, and the CYCLOP International Poetry Film Contest, but her greatest source of pride was being the only Thai representative chosen by the Japan Foundation Thailand to participate in the Exchange with Southeast Asian Muslim Youth Program 2018 in Japan.
