Abdallah Al Alfy
Founder & Layman -in-Chief
Known as Alfy to those who don't speak Arabic, and a bunch of his friends who do, Abdallah founded The Layman's Report as a reaction to biasedly authoritative journalism. Despite insisting that TLR primarily showcases the work of "reporters, not authors", outside of TLR, Alfy has authored two books (one under a pseudonym) and is eagerly authoring more. Besides a long career in communications, content writing & editing, along with translation and niche journalism, Alfy also has pretentions to strong scientific and creative backgrounds, being a licensed pharmacist in multiple jurisdictions, a public speaking instructor, and an active candidate for two master's degrees for "Creative Writing & Literature" and "Applied Biotechnology" respectively.
Dr. Michelle Han, DAOM, L.Ac.
Senior Laywoman
One of the first recognized mental health acupuncture specialists in the United States, Michelle has been a passionate advocate for integrating ancient Chinese medicine for a modern society. As a direct descendent of the Royal Family physicians of ancient Korea, her passion for mental health led her to pursue her second master’s degree in Psychology. The host of 2 podcasts, as well as a contributor to Vogue magazine, Dr. Michelle, despite being more expert than laywoman, is excited to be stepping into this world of TLR.
Adam El-Nagar
Layman-in-Charge, Global Affairs
A half Egyptian, half Irish, London-born millennial, Adam is blessed and cursed to have a foot in both East and West. Blessed in having a native’s perspective from both worlds, and cursed in feeling he doesn’t fully belong to either. The fundamental element of showcasing dual perspectives is what attracted Adam to TLR; allowing readers to differentiate between facts and personal perspectives, is, in his view, the only strategy that will keep journalism alive and free from the denigration of propaganda. A property developer with a passion for politics, cinema, music, fitness, and writing, Adam is a Psychology graduate with over a decade of experience in sales, recruitment, and business management. Having recreationally written short stories, novels, and fan fiction, the opportunity to explore a fresh approach to journalism with TLR excites him.
Mohamed Lotfi, PhD
Layman-in-Charge, Discovery & Science
A global problem-solver with a PhD in Sustainable Energy Systems, Mohamed Lotfi bridges technical complexity with accessible communication. With experience spanning academia and industry across four continents, he champions curiosity-driven inquiry and the power of interdisciplinary thinking. At TLR, Dr. Lotfi leverages his expertise to uncover the facts that matter, cutting through bias and complexity to empower readers with clarity. Whether demystifying cutting-edge science or highlighting counterfactors to prevailing narratives, his commitment is simple: to put fact before perspective and ensure discovery serves everyone.
