In 2022, she added “author” to her impressive list of accomplishments with the publication of her book, “How to Lose Friends and Influence White People,” released by Penguin Random House. The same year, Lattouf delivered her inaugural TEDx Sydney talk.
However, her journey faced a setback when, in December 2022, she began presenting ABC Radio Sydney’s Mornings program as a fill-in host.
Unfortunately, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation terminated her employment on December 20, 2023, following her social media posts about the Israel-Palestinian conflict.
Lattouf is actively considering legal options in response to the decision, underscoring the complexities of navigating free expression in the modern media landscape.
