Background

About Yvette Isaac

Dr. Yvette Elbayadi Isaac is the founder of Roads of Success, a non-profit organization based in the United States that produces life-changing media and empowering events for Arabic-speaking peoples throughout the world, centering on women’s issues, humanitarian and disability rights. As an Egyptian-American, Mrs. Isaac has a deep commitment to touching the Arab world with love and hope. She says, “Although I had the freedom in the United States to be an independent and educated woman, able to speak my mind, and make decisions for myself, my conscience was holding me captive. How could I truly be free if women from my cultural background could barely enjoy the essentials of freedom and be deprived of their basic rights. I realized at that moment that because I had been blessed with freedom, I am obligated to work to bring that same freedom to all the Arab people.” From her personal on-the-frontlines experiences, one of Yvette's mandates is to bring attention and awareness to the real situation for Middle Eastern minorities in Syria, Iraq and other parts of the Arab world. She is dedicated to advocating, rebuilding, restoring, and empowering displaced refugees, women, and other minorities. Roads of Success was awarded special consultative status with ECOSOC of the UN in 2017, giving us access to ECOSOC, its subsidiary bodies, the Human Rights mechanisms of the UN, as well as many other events.
