For South Asian Americans who have long waited to see themselves reflected in mainstream lifestyle programming, a milestone moment is arriving this May. Nabela Noor<\/strong>, a Bangladeshi American creator and entrepreneur with over 12 million followers across platforms, is set to become the first South Asian to host a lifestyle series for a major streamer or network with \u201cHosted by Nabela Noor\u201d on Tubi.<\/span><\/p>\n The series, <\/span>announced via Variety<\/span><\/a>, will drop all episodes on May 20. Each 30-minute episode is set in Noor\u2019s home, where she entertains guests including family members and fellow creators like Avery Woods<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n What makes the series even more meaningful is that it is a family collaboration. Episodes are directed by Noor\u2019s sister, Neharika Noor<\/strong> \u2014 a detail that underscores the family bonds at the heart of the project.<\/span><\/p>\n Born August 4, 1991, in New York to Bangladeshi immigrant parents, Nabela Noor\u2019s path from a daughter of immigrants to a nationally visible creator and entrepreneur is a story that resonates deeply within the South Asian diaspora. Her full name is Nabela Noor Martin, and she is now based in Pennsylvania, with roots tracing back to Bangladesh.<\/span><\/p>\n Noor finished high school at 16 and went on to attend community college before earning a degree in sociology from Pennsylvania State University. She started her YouTube channel in 2013, driven by a lack of diversity and plus-size representation in online content. Her work has spanned beauty, self-care, fashion, lifestyle, cooking and homemaking.<\/span><\/p>\n Noor\u2019s journey to Tubi grew from a creative philosophy she has cultivated for years. In 2020, she launched her \u201cPockets of Peace\u201d series \u2014 a TikTok concept focused on finding meaning in small, everyday moments. That series led to the creation of her brand, Nabela Noor Home.<\/span><\/p>\n Now, \u201cHosted by Nabela Noor\u201d brings that same ethos to an episodic format on one of the largest free streaming platforms in the country. According to the show\u2019s official description, \u201cViewers will be brought into Nabela\u2019s world \u2013 from the farmer\u2019s market, to the kitchen, to the dining room, garden, and everywhere in between \u2013 with the help of some friends along the way.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cMy goal with \u2018Hosted by Nabela Noor\u2019 is to inspire those to find their own pockets of peace, be a better host, and romanticize their every day,\u201d Noor said. \u201cI want viewers of the show to take away that they can treat every day like a special occasion, because life is worth celebrating.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Tubi\u2019s Kudzi Chikumbu<\/strong> affirmed the platform\u2019s commitment to Noor\u2019s vision in a statement: \u201cAt Tubi, we\u2019re focused on building a home for creators who are ready to expand their storytelling in new ways. Nabela, a creator I\u2019ve had the privilege of watching evolve, has built a deeply engaged community by making everyday life feel intentional and inspiring. \u2018Hosted by Nabela Noor\u2019 brings that connection to an episodic, bingeable format that reflects our commitment to culture-shaping voices and programming that helps viewers feel seen.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Beyond the new series, Noor has built a career centered on self-acceptance and empowerment. In 2021, she collaborated with P\u00dcR on a collection called \u201cP\u00dcR xo Nabela.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\nA Family Affair With Bangladeshi Roots<\/b><\/h2>\n
